Founded in 1907, this shrine is dedicated to Yoshida Shoin. It began with a small shrine built in a storehouse style at Shoin's family home, the Sugi family, and the current main hall was completed in 1955. It is cherished as the god of learning, and to the north of the main hall is the Matsumon Shrine, which enshrines his disciples. The grounds are dotted with historic sites such as the Shokasonjuku, a school run by Shoin that produced many prominent figures during the late Edo period and Meiji Restoration, and the former residence of Yoshida Shoin (Sugi family old residence). The Yoshida Shoin Historical Museum and the Treasure Hall Shiseikan convey Shoin's life and aspirations to the present day. The Shokasonjuku and the former residence of Yoshida Shoin are registered as components of the World Cultural Heritage \"Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding, and Coal Mining.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":217011,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-292908","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/292908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/292908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
