Description Nakatsu-no-miya detached shrine of Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine
Location: Moto-machi
Distance from hypocenter: approx. 350m
The Nakatsu-no-miya detached shrine located to the north of the front building was totally destroyed by the blast. In 1957 it was reconstructed in front of the present Hiroshima City Youth Center. Also moved there were the stone lanterns whose tops had fallen off. The legs of the torii gate found later during waterworks construction are preserved nearby.
