The Tōgō Shrine (東郷神社 ''Tōgō-jinja'') was built in 1940 and dedicated to ''Gensui'' (or 'Marshal-Admiral') The Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō shortly after his death. It is located in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. There, The Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō is celebrated as a shinto kami. A small museum and a bookshop dedicated to The Marquis Tōgō are located within the grounds of the shrine. The shrine is located near the intersection of Takeshita Street and Meiji Avenue, and is accessible from Harajuku Station. The physical remains of the ''Gensui'' (or Grand Admiral) himself are interred at Tama Cemetery in Tokyo. Until 2010, on the first and fourth Sunday of each month, one of Tokyo's best flea markets could be found at the shrine with upwards of 100 vendors. Rare finds included inexpensive silk kimonos. This flea market has been discontinued. ==Other shrines== As for General Nogi Maresuke who had several shrines throughout Japan named for him (Nogi Shrine), there are other Tōgō shrines, for example there is one at Tsuyazaki, Fukuoka, within earshot of the Battle of Tsushima won by The Marquis Tōgō. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tōgō Shrine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
