Hiroshima Tōshō-gū, Shinto shrine and A-bombed building in Higashi-ku, Japan.
The Hiroshima Tōshō-gū features wooden carvings, stone lanterns, and traditional gardens that represent the architectural style of Japanese religious structures.
Established in 1648 to honor Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shrine withstood the atomic bomb impact of 1945 and received designation as an A-bombed building in 1996.
The shrine maintains traditional Shinto practices through regular ceremonies, prayer offerings, and seasonal festivals that connect the local community with ancestral customs.
The shrine welcomes visitors daily, offering guided tours that explain the significance of its architecture and the various religious rituals performed throughout the year.
