History
It was already enshrined as Hirose Benzaiten during the Tensho period (1573–1592). There is a theory that it served as the Chinju-sha (guardian shrine) of Dojunji Temple, the family temple of the Mori clan. During the Edo period, it was worshipped as the Ujigami of the entire western Hiroshima area, and during the Shotoku period (1711–1716), it was designated as the Miyabisho (temporary lodging for imperial messengers) of Onaga Tokugawa Jinja. The shrine buildings were destroyed by the atomic bomb in Showa 20 (1945 CE), but they were rebuilt after the war, resulting in the current structures.
