Yuchi Shinto Shrine

Locations

The former unranked (無格社) Shinto shrine for the town of Yuchi, established in November 1943. It is located on a small hilltop south of the main market town and was mostly dismantled sometime after the war. Nowadays there is a temple on the site of the original hall, tennis courts on the platform, and a pair of stone lanterns at the top of the stairs. Access it through the township office. It was known as Gyochi-jinja in the original Japanese.
