Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine
〒730-0011 広島県広島市中区基町２１−２
Located in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, this Gokoku Shrine enshrines approximately 92,000 souls, including war dead from western Hiroshima Prefecture up to World War II and victims of the atomic bomb. It is also well known as a place for prayers for victory by fans of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team.
History
The shrine was originally established in 1868 as 'Suisou Shrine' to enshrine those who died in battle during the Boshin War. It later became the official Hiroshima Rekotsu Shrine and was renamed Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine in 1941. During the atomic bombing in 1945, all buildings were destroyed except for the large torii gate. The shrine was rebuilt and relocated to its current site in 1956. In 1993, the current main hall and other structures were built as part of a commemorative project for the coronation of Emperor Naruhito (then Crown Prince).
