Takeda Shrine (武田神社 Takeda Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Kōfu, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, and houses the kami of Takeda Shingen.
[edit] History
After the end of the Meiji Restoration, a push began to honor the loyalists who had served during the time. Also, with the completion of the Russo-Japanese War, a shrine was needed to honor the war dead. In 1915, the Taishō Emperor commissioned the shrine, which was completed in 1919. The shrine's annual celebration is on April 12, Shingen's death anniversary.
