Campus Shintō Shrine


 

The campus Shrine venerates the divinity Amaterasu and the many other kami. The Secretary of the predecessor of Kokugakuin University, the Institute for Research into the Imperial Classics, Toyoji Wada donated the money to create this Shrine, and the project was completed in 1932. On May 1st each year the Shrine holds its annual rite. This shrine received wood from the 61st Grand Rite (ceremonial reconstruction) of the Ise Shrine, and two additional structures were thus added in 1995. The small stream in front of the shrine creates a calming atmosphere. The ritual procedure for woshipping at the shrine consists of purifying oneself by washing one’s hands in the water provided and then advancing to the worship space, bowing twice and clapping twice.
