Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] located on the grounds of [[Hiroshima castle]]. Originally built in the late 19th or early 20th century as one of a number of ''gokoku'' ("protection of the nation") shrines as part of [[State Shinto]], it was destroyed in the atomic bombing of the city in 1945 and was rebuilt within the castle grounds in 1956.
