Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Hiroshima, Japan. Originally established in 1869 to honor the war dead of the Hiroshima Domain, the shrine was moved to its present location in 1934. Unfortunately, the structure was destroyed by the atomic bombing in 1945, but it was rebuilt in 1965. The shrine now serves as a place of remembrance and prayer, dedicated to those who lost their lives in various conflicts. It is situated within the grounds of Hiroshima Castle, offering a serene environment for visitors to reflect and pay their respects.
