Matsubara Shrine

When Okubo Toshimichi's father, Toshiyo, was about to be punished for the Oyura Incident that occurred in the Satsuma Domain at the end of the Edo period, Toshimichi went to this shrine every day to pray for a lighter punishment. Toshiyo was only punished by exile to an island, and within the shrine grounds there is a lantern that is said to have been donated by Toshimichi as a token of his gratitude.
