Anrak-ji Temple
広島市東区牛田本町１丁目５−２９
A Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha Buddhist temple located in Higashi Ward, Hiroshima City, with the mountain name Juyozan. The main hall is a building that survived the atomic bomb, and the temple grounds feature atomic-bomb-affected trees and a wooden seated statue of Jizo Bosatsu (Kannon Bodhisattva), which is designated as an Important Tangible Cultural Property by Hiroshima City.
History
Established in 1433, the temple was converted from the Tendai sect to the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha sect in 1533 and built at its current location. It suffered damage from a fire in the Hiroshima Castle town in 1758, but the main hall was rebuilt in 1788. From the Edo period to the early Meiji period, a temple school (terakoya) was opened, which became the predecessor of the current Hiroshima City Uta Elementary School.

This temple is characterized by a large ginkgo tree that leans over the gate. The tree bears scars from the atomic bomb and displays beautiful colors in autumn. Although it is located in a spot that is hard to see from the main street, it can be visited by following the historical walking path.
