Tranquil Santuario Hiroshima Gokoku

The shrine of each prefecture somehow shows the various local cultural traits - from the statues to the paintings or scriptures on the architecture. Hiroshima is known for being attacked and bombed in the Second World War, so “Peace” is a big theme of the prefecture and many decorations and key messages on local postures are about peace. When you come to this Hiroshima shrine, you can see many locals and foreigners contributing money to pray for peace specifically.
