荒神神社

Hiroshima

This shrine is dedicated to Kōjin, a fierce protective deity in Japanese folk religion who guards against fire, plague, and evil spirits. Worshippers come here seeking protection for their homes and families, particularly from fire hazards and illness, as Kōjin is believed to purify spaces and ward off misfortune. The deity's dual nature as both a wrathful protector and benevolent guardian makes this an important site for those seeking spiritual cleansing and divine protection in their daily lives.
