The shine was rebuilt after the atomic bomb. The grounds are well maintained and, despite being close to the city center. We were fortunate enough to see a wedding ceremony on the day of our visit.
This is purely a huge shame that the japanese people learnt nothing from their mistakes in the past.
They only focus and exaggerate the harm they got from the atomic bomb in this city, but never talk about their invasion and massacre and countless crimes over other countries and the people that they have committed during the war.
If they ever did regret truly of what they have committed during that time, they can't still pray for the ones who died during the ww2 here in this shrine. on the surface, they pretend to show repentance of what they have committed, but in fact they are just mad that they lost the war.
otherwise, no japanese person would come to this shrine and pray for the ones who invaded and raped and killed so many people in neighbouring countries. They must stop their filthy victim mentality and stop this madness and recover trusts with other countries. History is never a thing they can hide. more they try to hide it, more people shall know about the fact.
Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located within the grounds of Hiroshima Castle. It was originally established to honor the war dead of Hiroshima Prefecture. Inside, I visited the main hall where people pray, as well as various smaller shrines dedicated to different deities. The shrine grounds are peaceful and beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere for reflection and appreciation of traditional Japanese culture.
The Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine, located in the vibrant city of Hiroshima, is a peaceful sanctuary that has both historical importance and a sense of spiritual calmness. This memorial provides visitors with a tranquil and reflective environment as an homage to the souls lost in times of conflict.
Upon arrival on the premises, individuals are immediately met by a serene ambiance, which stands in sharp contrast to the bustling metropolitan atmosphere just outside the entrance. The well maintained gardens, shady walkways, and impressive architecture of the shrine structures combine to provide an atmosphere of deep respect and calmness.
