桃園忠烈祠

　　桃園忠烈祠位於桃園區東北方虎頭山西麓，前身為日本神社，座東北朝西南，可遠眺市區，從石階參道沿山坡而下連接火車站前的中正路，隱然有居高臨下庇佑萬民之意。

　　日治昭和10年（1935），日本當局應皇民化運動籌建桃園神社，民國39年（1950）改為忠烈祠。臺日斷交後，臺灣各地清除日本神社，唯獨桃園神社完整保存。

　　桃園神社的建築群極為可觀，本殿、拜殿、參道、中門、枅垣、高麗犬、銅馬、社務所、手水舍、鳥居、石燈籠、管理室、儲藏室、石階段、入口名稱座、東司等，大致上維持原貌，整體配置順應地形逐層而上，予人崇敬仰望的感受，更難得的是多採杉檜原木，不著粉飾的大木結構也展現了蒼勁樸實之美，藝術價值極高，同時也是歷史的見證。

　　桃園忠烈祠供奉自鄭成功以降諸多先烈、抗日與革命殉難烈士及因公殉職的軍、警、消、民，平日開放瞻仰，每年舉行春秋祭禮。現今政府定為「桃園忠烈祠暨神社文化園區」加以規劃活化。

史料原文/譯文

Taoyuan's Martyrs Shrine was formerly one of the Japanese Shinto shrines. Overlooking Taoyuan City, its condescending posture suggests itself as a protector of the people. The Taoyuan Shinto was built in 1935 during the Japanization Movement, but changed into Martyrs Shrine in 1950. A complete demolition of the Shinto shrines has been ordered when Taiwan and Japan broke its diplomatic ties; only Taoyuan Shinto remains. An impressive array of architectural compound is found in the Taoyuan Shinto, including the honden (sanctuary), haiden (hall of worship), shamusho (shrine's traditional administrative office) and temizuya (hand washing station for the worshippers) etc., mostly kept in its original form. Majestic and versatile, its architectural design not only adapts to the geographical landscape, but the use of cypress and fir exhibits the woodwork's vigor and simplicity. The Shrine commemorates martyrs, officers and civilians who sacrificed for the country since Koxinga's era. It is open on the weekdays, and holds an annual Spring Ritual. After the 1987 renovation, its designation as "Martyrs Shrine and Shinto Cultural Park" aims to revitalize the area.
