Former place of Kokutaiji Temple and Atago Pond
3.9
(44)This historical landmark is a remnant of the Atago Pond, once part of the Kokutaiji Temple grounds, which served as the family temple for the Asano clan. It offers a glimpse into the Edo period and the original coastline of Hiroshima Castle town. The pond's rock formations, similar to those at Shirahige Shrine, reveal and conceal themselves with the tides, illustrating the area's historical topography.
