    (Translated by Google) A shrine that enshrines the spirits of heroes from Ibaraki Prefecture. It is located in the free area of ​​Kairakuen. Although it was during the Plum Festival, it was not crowded and you can visit in a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. The grounds are spacious and well maintained. It's nice that there are many benches so you can rest your back. The timing of implementation is unknown, but the flower chozubachi in front of Inari Shrine is also splendid. When I received the red stamp, the priest's response was kind and polite and his smile was wonderful. (Original) 茨城県出身の英霊の御霊をお祀りする神社。 偕楽園の無料エリア内に鎮座しています。梅まつり期間中でしたが、混雑もなく、ゆったりと静かな雰囲気の中でお参りすることができます。 境内も広く、整備が行き届いています。ベンチがたくさんあって腰を休めることができるのも良いですね。 実施時期は不明ですが、稲荷社前の花手水も見事です。 御朱印を頂くときの、神主さんの対応が親切丁寧で笑顔が素敵でした。

    (Translated by Google) I have visited several times, but the flowers of Temizu are wonderful every time. This time I went to see the cherry blossoms in Sakurayama. The cherry blossoms at night were also beautiful. (Original) 何度か訪れましたが毎回手水のお花が素敵です。 今回は桜山の桜を見に行ってきました。 夜の桜も綺麗でした。

    (Translated by Google) Ibaraki Gokoku Shrine, located on Mt. Sakura near Kairakuen, enshrines the spirits of the war dead from Ibaraki Prefecture from the end of the Edo period to World War II. Originally, it was enshrined in the precincts of Tokiwa Shrine in 1878 as Chinreisha Shrine, and in November 1941, it was moved to its current location and renamed Gokoku Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture. rice field. In 1947, the name was changed again to Sakurayama Shrine, but in 1954, it was renamed Ibaraki Prefecture Gokoku Shrine and continues to this day. Today, along with the neighboring Sakurayama, it is known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and is crowded with many people during the peak season. (Original) 偕楽園近くの桜山に位置する茨城県護国神社は、幕末から第二次世界大戦までの茨城県出身戦没者の霊を祀っています。 もとは明治11(1878)年に「鎮霊社」として常磐神社境内に祀られたことに始まり、昭和16(1941)年11月に現在地に移されるとともに、茨城県護国神社に名を改めました。 昭和22(1947)年、桜山神社に再度改称されますが、昭和29(1954)年に茨城県護国神社と復称、今に至ります。 現在は、隣接する「桜山」とともに桜の名所として知られており、見頃の時期は多くの人で賑わっています。

    (Translated by Google) ⭐️ Majestic atmosphere ⭐️ The other day, I stopped by when I went to Mito Kairakuen. This personnel was set up in this place in the precincts of Tokiwa Shrine to enshrine about 1800 pillars of the Mito clan who had been killed before and after the Meiji Restoration in 1891, and then the war dead from Ibaraki prefecture were enshrined one after another. After the war, it enshrines the spirits of military personnel and civilian employees related to the prefecture. I feel like I'm feeling more relaxed in a solemn atmosphere. (Original) ⭐️荘厳な雰囲気⭐️ 先日、水戸偕楽園に行った際に立ち寄りました。 この人事は明治11年明治維新前後に殉じた水戸藩士約1800柱を祀るため、常磐神社の境内のこの場所に立てられたその後、茨城県出身の戦没者を逐次合祀していった。 戦後は県に関係した軍人、軍属の霊を合祀している なんだか荘厳な雰囲気に身が引き締まる思いです

    (Translated by Google) I visited when I visited Shoshu Bairin Park and Tokugawa Museum. It was my first time visiting a shrine that enshrines the war dead, so it was a new experience for me. It was very beautiful with flower chozubachi. There was a splendid cherry tree, so it might be nice again during the cherry blossom season. (Original) 猩猩梅林公園と徳川ミュージアムを訪れる際に来訪してみました。戦没者を祀っている神社は初めて参拝したので色々なものが新鮮でした。 花手水があってとても綺麗でした。 立派な桜の木があったので桜の時期はまた素敵なのかもしれませんね。

    (Translated by Google) There was "Sakuramiya" in the precincts. The enshrined deity is Princess Konohana Sakuya. There is a happy stone (nade stone), and it says, ``This stone is a stone that brings happiness that anything can be granted by stroking it with both hands while making a wish according to the divine virtue of Princess Konohana, the deity enshrined at Sakuranomiya.'' . (Original) 境内に「桜宮」がありました。御祭神は木花咲耶姫様です。 しあわせ石(なで石)があり、「この石は桜宮の御祭神 木花咲耶姫の御神徳により願事を念じながら両手で撫でることにより、どんなことでも叶えられる幸せをもたらす石です。」とあります。
