Because it was near Fukuyama Castle I visited It was hot The stairs feel very good Decided to climb However I don't know where to get the red stamp I gave up and returned

My grandfather is also enshrined here. The transparent carving of the braid and the top is a rabbit. God dwells in the details. Currently, "Abe Shrine" does not exist alone, and the deities, lands and buildings have been taken over by Gokoku Shrine. The remnants of the shrine's crest "Mushi-eating Hawk Wings" and the flat "Yutaka Shrine" (former name of Abe Shrine) inside the southern shrine are retained.

In general, there is one Gokoku Shrine in one prefecture, and two in Hiroshima. It is about 15 minutes from the station and you have to go around Fukuyama Castle, but it is a very beautiful large Gokoku shrine. The spirits that have died in the Bingo country, such as the Russo-Japanese Russo-Japanese War, the Chinese incident, and the Great East Asia War are enshrined.

When you visit Fukuyama Castle, you want to go there as well. It was a small, modest shrine.

A shrine located on Mt. Tenjin on the north side of Fukuyama Castle, built in 1868. The god of worship is the war dead in the Greater East Asia War from the battle between the Fukuyama feudal lord Abe and the second Choshu expedition Iwamiguchi at the end of the Edo period. It seems that it was under construction at the current location of the Fukuyama City Gymnasium, but it was burnt down by the Fukuyama air raid on August 8, 1945, and was rebuilt at the current location in 1956. Many memorial monuments erected after the war are lined up near the shrine on the west side of the shrine. In the precincts, there are stone structures dedicated by Miyamoto Musashi Koshikakeishi, Masahiro Abe, Masatake, and successive Abe clan. Thank you and respect for the spirits Pray for peace Love your hometown Proud to Japan
