Terumoto Mori, a powerful feudal lord whose domain once covered much of the Chugoku Region, began construction on Hiroshima Castle in the year Tensho 17 (1589), choosing for it a location with convenient access to both water and land transportation. At that time, large-scale construction work commenced on the castle structures, including its stone walls and fences, towers and keep, as well as the surrounding castle town. Although Mori would later be demoted by the Tokugawa Shogunate after the Battle of Sekigahara, Hiroshima Castle continued to be maintained throughout the Edo Period by successive feudal lords, from Masanori Fukushima to Nagaakira Asano, whose clan would control the castle,

Le plus populaire des souvenirs d’Hiroshima, le momiji manju, est un petit gâteau en forme de feuille d’érable fourré de anko, une pâte sucrée de haricots rouges. Bien qu’il existe diverses théorie pour expliquer sa forme caractéristique, cette tradition pâtissière a déjà plus d’un siècle d’existence. Outre le traditionnel anko, passé ou écrasé, le gâteau peut être fourré de différentes crèmes: fromage, pâtissière, chocolat ou thé vert. Certains magasins les vendent à la pièce, cuits devant vous. C’est le seul endroit où vous pouvez les déguster tout chauds sortis du moule. À côté des momiji manju, les fabricants proposent bien d’autres produits comme des gâteaux japonais ou des se

Arts & Culture

Self-taught, Hiroshima-born artist Tadashi Tonoshiki (1942-1992) was heralded for meticulously executed paintings and prints in which he dealt with his and his parents’ experiences of the atomic bomb. In later years, based on a critical view of contemporary consumer society, Tonoshiki created dynamic installations using waste and flotsam as materials. Then, just as anticipation was running high for his work, he suddenly died at the age of 50. Looking back on Tonoshiki’s career on the 25th anniversary of the artist’s death, this exhibition attempts to determine his significance in the present day.

Parks & Nature

Mt. Misen Mt. Misen is the island’s tallest mountain. It gives you great views of the island and sits amongst the forest of trees. You can hike to the top or ride the ropeway to the observation deck. There are three different hiking paths you can take on this island: The Momijidani Course, the Daisho-in Course and the Omoto Course. Each of the courses takes you up Mount Misen and is about a two hour trek. The ropeway can be taken for a small fee and is about a 20 minute ride to top, but once at the top there is still a bit of walking to get you to the observation deck. Along the trails or at the top, you may be greeted by the occasional monkey or deer at this site

Lovely any time of year. The garden is even home to a ginko tree that survived the atomic bomb blast. It's conveniently located, cheap to enter (about 500Y), and it's right next to the prefectural art museum. Don't forget to buy fish food for the begging carp in the pond!

Itsukushima Shrine It is said that Itsukushima Shrine, one of the Three Scenic Views of Japan, was established by Saeki-no-Kuramoto. In the late Heian Period, the current shrine building was constructed in its present form, as a shrine on the sea, with the assistance of Taira-no-Kiyomori. The conception of a shrine whose grounds include the sea, with its form ever changing with the ebb and flow of the tides, is like nothing else in the world. In December of the year Heisei 8 (1996), Itsukushima Shrine was registered as a World Heritage Site. Looking out over the Inland Sea before it and crowned to its rear by Mt.
