Waseda Jinja (Waseda Shrine)
〒732-0062 広島県広島市東区牛田早稲田１丁目２−２２
This shrine has long been revered as the deity of martial arts. Within its grounds lies a local history museum housing artifacts from the Jomon period and burial mounds dating back to the Yayoi period.
History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 1511. It is said that the Takeda clan enshrined Hachiman, the guardian deity of the Minamoto clan, at a location corresponding to the demon gate (kimon) of their castle to pray for peace. During the rule of the Asano clan, senior retainers performed proxy worship, and offerings were presented until the Meiji Restoration. Following post-war reconstruction, the current shrine buildings were completed in 1960.

The grounds feature Yayoi-period burial mounds and a well-maintained flower-adorned water purification fountain (chozuya). On the first Sunday of the month, an open-air market is held within the precincts, and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available.
