The Kato Shrine is where Kato Kiyomasa, lord of Kumamoto in the late-14th and early 15th centuries, is enshrined. The shrine was originally built in between the main tower of Kumamoto Castle and the Uto Turret and was called the Nishikiyama Shrine.

Located near the castle, this shrine is a peaceful and historically significant site, dedicated to Katō Kiyomasa, the samurai lord who built Kumamoto Castle in the early 17th century.

Visited the shrine during new year holidays. Tried the traditional ‘hatsumoude’ which was a custom praying for good luck in a new year. Appreciate a great view of the Kumamoto castle Though it was closed for construction. Strongly recommend touristy to have a visit and experience the tradition of Japan

Recommend to walk here and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Also, you can have an amazing view of the Kumamoto Castle from here. Just around 10 minutes walk from the Kumamoto Castle, and along the road you can still see the damage caused by earthquake together with the repair progress. Worth a visit!
