Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located within the grounds of Hiroshima Castle. It was originally established to honor the war dead of Hiroshima Prefecture. Inside, I visited the main hall where people pray, as well as various smaller shrines dedicated to different deities. The shrine grounds are peaceful and beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere for reflection and appreciation of traditional Japanese culture.
