Honganji hiroshima betsu-in, Buddhist temple in Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Japan
The temple features traditional Japanese architecture with a main hall dedicated to Shinran and structures that reflect Jodo-Shin Buddhist principles.
The original temple hall from 1609 was destroyed during the atomic bombing, but it was rebuilt in 1964, maintaining its spiritual presence.
The temple organizes rituals and memorial services where Buddhist monks perform ceremonies for families to honor their deceased relatives.
Located at 1-19 Tera-machi, the temple is reached by taking the JR Sanyo Line to Yokogawa Station followed by an 8-minute walk.
A resilient sago palm near the bell tower survived the atomic blast from 1,150 meters away and was replanted during the temple reconstruction.
