History
The founding date is unknown, but it is believed to have been established at a landing site visited by Empress Jingu during her western expedition. In 1555, during the Battle of Itsukushima, Mori Motonaru visited the shrine to pray for victory and worshiped the morning sun, leading to the name 'Asahiyama' (Morning Sun Mountain). Although exposed to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, it was spared from destruction by a wildfire and was restored in 1948.

What visitors say
Accessible via a long flight of stairs, the shrine features a nature-rich precinct. While it offers a quiet and serene atmosphere during the day, daytime visits are recommended due to the possibility of wildlife appearing at night. Information regarding Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) availability is unclear. There is no parking nearby, so walking from the nearest station is the most convenient access method.
