This shrine is dedicated to Kojin, a fierce protective deity in Japanese folk religion who guards against fire, pestilence, and evil spirits. Worshippers visit to seek protection for their homes and families, particularly from kitchen fires and household disasters, as Kojin is traditionally considered the guardian of the hearth and domestic spaces. The shrine serves as an important spiritual anchor for the local Hiroshima community, where devotees offer prayers for safety and purification while honoring this powerful kami known for his ability to ward off misfortune.
