• Notes

  Inscription on Monument: On the Morning of September 1, 1901 four missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints humbly gathered to dedicate Japan "for the proclamation of the truth and for the bringing to pass of the purposes of the Lord." Elders Heber J. Grant, Louis A. Kelsch, Horace S. Ensign and Alma O. Taylor walked to a secluded spot in Yokahama, and far from this site, and knelt within a small grove of trees Elder Grant, a Member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and President of the Japanese Mission, offered the dedicatory prayer. Of the prayer, Elder Taylor wrote "His tongue was loosed and the Spirit resided mightily upon him so much so that we felt the angels of God were near for our hearts burned within us as the words fell from his lips" This monument stands in commemoration of a century of devotion by faithful members of the Church throughout Japan, and as a beacon of hope that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will continue to bless the people of this great land.
