Hiroshima Castle and Gokoku Shrine

The white torii gate of Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine survived the atomic bombing. We also saw survival trees. Then we visited the Gokoku Shrine and the Hiroshima castle. Hiroshima Castle was built in 1591 by Terumoto Mori, a feudal lord. However, it was destroyed by the A-bomb in 1945. The faithful replica of its donion was constructed in 1958.
