information

Hiroshima developed as a military center beginning in the Meiji era (1868-1912), and it was the first city in the world to have a nuclear bomb dropped on it, during World War II. The city made a strong recovery and now continues to spread a message of peace to the world.

As one of Hiroshima's leading sake-producing areas, Saijo has seven longstanding sake breweries within a 1-kilometer area known as Sakagura-dori (sake brewery street) that continue to brew rice wine. White plaster walls, black "namako kabe" walls and houses with lattices of evenly spaced vertical timber bars combine to create elegant scenery.

Miyajima is one of the three scenic views of Japan, along with Matsushima and Amanohashidate. The entire island is revered as a holy land that is home to kami, and it fl ourished as a maritime transportation hub in the Heian era (794-1185) and as one of Japan's leading tourist destinations since the Edo period (1603-1868).

Tomonoura, which is certifi ed as Japan Heritage, is a tourist attraction that retains vestiges of the time when it fl ourished as a port city in modern times. Its townscape has a gentle, soothing ambiance.

Onomichi once fl ourished as a key point for shipping, and its good old-fashioned townscape with lots of hills is a popular tourist destination. In recent years cafes and shops have opened in renovated storehouses and vacant homes, giving the area a new charm.

This shrine was built more than 1,400 years ago and its buildings, said to have been constructed by the military commander Taira no Kiyomori some 800 years earlier, are in a linked-corridors style. As a symbol of Miyajima, one of the three scenic views of Japan, Itsukushima Shrine was registered as a

UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, along with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. The shrine has many structures that are national treasures and important cultural properties, as well as much art and crafts. The tides and scenery that changes with the four seasons accentuate the mysticism of this site.

Daishoin is the oldest temple in Miyajima, and it is said to have been founded by the monk Kukai, the originator of Shingon Buddhism. It was visited by great men including Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is called the most successful person of the Sengoku era, and today about 500,000 people visit it per year. When pilgrims climb the stairs lined with prayer wheels and statues of the Five Hundred Disciples of the Buddha and arrive at the gate for honored persons, they are greeted by Henjokutsu Cave, which has the same effect as the henro pilgrimage, and the dazzling Maniden Hall.

Daishoin Temple

As the highest peak on Miyajima, this mountain has been worshipped since ancient times. Its primeval forest is a nationally designated natural monument, and the mountain's summit affords a magnificent view of the Seto Inland Sea and the islands in it. Japan's first prime minister Ito Hirobumi said, "The view from the summit is what makes Miyajima one of the three great views of Japan."

Mt. Misen

This park spreads out along a ravine and the Momijidani River at the foot of Mt. Misen. The land was reclaimed in the Edo period (1603-1868) and damaged by a typhoon in 1945. It was subsequently restored and made into the erosion control park it is today. The autumn scenery consisting of 700 trees that change color all at once is worthy of being called "magnificent natural beauty." The best time to see it is in mid-November.

Momijidani Park

Set off in the open sea in a sea kayak, head for Itsukushima Shrine's great torii gate and take in the view of it from the water. You can get up close to this torii you've been looking at from a distance. When this enormous symbol of Itsukushima Shrine is right before your eyes, you will feel the aura of the shrine precincts that have traveled across eons and have a one-of-a-kind experience.

Bugaku is a traditional dance accompanied by court music handed down to Japan from India, China and the Korean Peninsula around the 5th to 9th centuries. The dancers sometimes perform wearing masks known as bugakumen, and the music developed into court music among the nobility. The military commander Taira no Kiyomori reportedly brought bugaku from Shitennoji Temple in Osaka to Miyajima.

This is a bombed structure that conveys the cruelty of nuclear weapons. This structure damaged by a nuclear bomb looks almost the same as it did just after the bombing, and after the war, it was preserved as a peace monument. It was registered as a UNESCO

World Heritage Site in 1996, and for ages has been an international symbol of the abolition of nuclear weapons and the importance of perpetual peace.

H I R O S H I M AThe Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was opened to tell later generations about the disastrous scene that occurred when an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. In addition to displaying photographs, as well as clothing, wristwatches, and other items that were owned by the deceased and donated by citizens, it also introduces the historical background to the atomic bombing and peace initiatives.

This park was created near ground zero of the atomic bomb with a wish for world peace. Designed by architect Kenzo Tange, it is full of monuments to peace such as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound; and a Peace Bell rung each Aug. 6 during the Peace Memorial Ceremony.

This is a memorial to the victims of the atomic bomb and war and a Christian church built with a wish for world peace. Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle, a priest who was injured by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, built the church with the cooperation of people around the world. Architect Togo Murano designed it and it was completed in 1954.

From this location just east of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, you can view Hiroshima's two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From an open-air observation deck, you can not only see the streets of Hiroshima but also, on a clear day, look out over Mt. Misen on Miyajima. There are also a products museum and a cafe, so it's a place where you can eat and see and experience Hiroshima.

Hiroshima Orizuru Tower

Mori Terumoto, one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Council of Five Elders, built this castle on the plains. The castle tower that was designated a national treasure was collapsed by the atomic bomb but rebuilt in 1958. The sight of it gave courage to citizens rebuilding the city. Its interior is now a history museum focused on Hiroshima.

Hiroshima Castle

This garden was built for the villa of Hiroshima daimyo Asano Nagaakira. Tea expert and Asano chief retainer Ueda Soko created the garden. There are islands of various sizes in the pond in the center of the garden, and a path around the pond with a cleverly placed ravine, bridge and arbor.

This is a Shingon Buddhism temple the monk Kukai reportedly founded in 806. The main hall painted a vivid vermillion and the bell tower that was chosen as one of the "100 Select Soundscapes of Japan" are famous symbols. A park surrounds the temple, and you can see the beautiful streets of Onomichi from the temple grounds.

Industrialist Kozo Kosanji built this temple out of appreciation for his mother. Temple buildings that incorporate the traditional style of Buddhist architecture stand in a row, and they are linked to a museum exhibiting Kozo Kosanji's precious art collection and to a white marble garden called Miraishin no Oka (the Hill of Hope).

TOMONOURA

This area is known for the seven sake breweries crowded together on the east side of Saijo Station. There are retro western-sty le houses, red-brick chimneys, a group of breweries with thick, earthen walls , houses with latt ices of evenly spaced vertical timber bars and other elements from long ago remaining here, and visitors can tour the breweries and compare the local sakes while steeping in the nostalgic ambiance.

Saijo Sakaguradori Street

Fukuzenji is a Shingon Buddhism temple said to have been built in the Heian period (794-1185). Taichoro was built adjacent to Fukuzenji around 1690 as a place for the Joseon missions to Japan to stay. Through its wide-open windows, Benten Island is visible in the front and Sensui Island in the rear, so visitors can view island scenery. The scene composed of the garden and scenery, which were praised by the Korean high officials, is as beautiful as a painting.

Taichoro (Fukuzenji Temple)

This building, which was a brewery of medicinal alcoholic beverages made in Tomonoura from the Edo period (1603-1868), is a government-designated important cultural property. The beautiful garden and Japanese architectural styles inside the house are a visual treat for visitors.

OTHER AREASCULTURE

This small island is about 15 minutes by boat from Tadanoumi Port in Takehara. There once was a poison gas factory there, but it became a national park and today is inhabited by 700 rabbits. Many people visit the island for its multifaceted nature and soothing effect.

Okunoshima Island

This 16 kilometer gorge has been designated a national place of exceptional scenic beauty. With its course containing five waterfalls, two deep pools and a series of countless other picturesque sights, the beautiful scenery created by nature instills the air with a serenity that could be said to be the prototype for Japanese-style gardens. Sandankyo Gorge is popular for its moderate-length trail and boat cruises.

Sandankyo Gorge

In a time when there were few amusements, a court music pavilion would be set up on the grounds of a shrine and the entire village would enjoy ancient Shinto music and dancing as an important annual event. The music and dancing were performed as a prayer to the gods and with a feeling of gratitude. Today this tradition is carried on by close to 300 active kagura troupes in Hiroshima Prefecture.

GOURMET

Hiroshima, which has all the favorable conditions for oyster growth including gentle waves and tidal currents, boasts the top production volume in Japan, and its oysters' abundant meat and rich, delicious flavor are a big draw. They can be grilled, deep-fried or eaten in any other of many ways.

This is a famous gourmet item long beloved in Miyajima. Whole, plump, roasted conger eels are boiled with flavored bone stock, then combined with rice soaked in sauce. This combination really stimulates the appetite. It is also popular as a bento that can be eaten cold.

This local cuisine of Hiroshima is made by topping wheat-f lour batter with cabbage, bean sprouts, pork and other ingredients and then grilling it. Hiroshima's okonomiyaki differs from that of the Kansai region in that the toppings are just placed on top without mixing them with the batter. The way the cabbage is cut and the seasonings also are different.

These are local noodles of Onomichi. The soy-sauce-based soup that combines s tock taken from small fish caught in the Seto Inland Sea with minced back fat is rich and full-bodied and mixes well with the flat noodles. There are many longstanding Onomichi ramen shops in the city offering the same taste they always have.

This traditional Japanese toy got i t s s tar t when the French bilboquet was improved in the Taisho pe r iod ( 19 12 - 19 26) and renamed nichigetsu ball . The inventor, Hamaji Egusa, visited Hatsukaichi, a city that contains Miyajima, and asked that it be produced. This led to it being known as the bir thplace of the kendama.

Lemons raised in the gentle climate of the Seto Inland Sea not only have the highest production volume in Japan, but care is also taken about their flavor and safety, and they have achieved popularity under the name "Setouchi Lemons." There are also many processed foods such as juice and snacks made using these lemons.

The oysters that grow in the abundant Seto Inland Sea are rich, sweet and loaded with nutrition. Many processed foods high in quality and safety are made of oysters that have cleared strict shipping standards, and many are popular as souvenirs or gifts for back home.
