Even though Kashihara is no longer an ideological nexus for Japan, it still retains much of its grandeur. The facilities built in the late 30s remain, now independent from the shrine.

I highly recommend a visit to Kashihara if you're interested in the history of Imperial Japan.

Kashihara's fortunes ended with Japan's defeat in WWII. The shrine's mission became void as SCAP dismantled State Shinto, & having neither the history nor location of other grand shrines to fall back on, Kashihara fell into obscurity as it was removed from all public functions.

Kashihara succeeded in its mission to be a grand venue for mass performance of and participation in imperial ideology in 1940.

About 1.1 million people attended the shrine's annual rites for Jimmu, and a further 8 million throughout the year, ~12% of Japan's total population.

As the jewel in Japan's Pan-Asian crown, Manchukuo was expected to take an active part in the 1940 celebrations.

During Kashihara's 1940 shrine festival, Manchukuo's residents were required to perform yōhai towards the shine, while later in the year its emperor, Puyi, worshiped there in person.
