- Note
- Shanghai Shrine, also known as Lu Shang Shen She, was among the first Japanese shinto shrine established in Shanghai during the early 20th century. Originated in a private garden near Jiang Wan Road, the Japanese shrine was named "Lu Shang Shen She" in 1912. In 1932, the shrine was burned down in the January 28 Incident, a six-week battle in Shanghai between China and Japan. In 1933, the shrine was rebuilt in a new location on Jiang Wan Road. It was again destroyed in 1945 after Japan was defeated in World War II.
