Nigatsu Shrine

広島市東区二葉の里2丁目6−34

4.2(365)

Located in Higashi Ward, Hiroshima City, this shrine enshrines the founder of the domain. Locally, it is known as 'Nigatsu-san'.

History

The shrine originated in 1706 when Asano Tsunana, lord of the Hiroshima Domain, established a memorial hall for Asano Nagamasa. In 1835, Asano Narisuke built the current shrine buildings at this site to honor his ancestors, naming it Futaba-gosha. It was renamed Nigatsu Shrine in 1873. After reconstruction following World War II, the shrine has been restored to its pre-war appearance.
