福屋八丁堀本店は、広島の地元の老舗デパートです。私たちは広島に着いた前日に、広島駅前にあった福屋を訪れていましたが、こちらが本店なんですね。複数の棟で構成されているように見えたので、時代に合わせて大きく成長してきたのでしょう。開業は昭和４年という、歴史あるデパートです。全国の地元の老舗デパートは、各地で消滅する時代になっていますから、ぜひ、頑張ってほしいと思いました。

草戸稲荷神社の隣にある由緒正しいお寺。こちらは国宝が2つもあるのに、神社に比べ空いてました。国宝の本堂、五重の塔は14世紀のものです。かなり状態はよく五重塔は日本で5番目に古い塔だそうです。でも拝観料無料というのがよいですね。

Hiroshima Pref. Hiroshimashinakaku Fukuromachi 6-36

An elementary school (the former Fukuromachi Senior Elementary School) in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, situated just 460 meters from the atomic bomb blast center. All of the wooden school buildings were destroyed by the blast from the atomic bomb and a large number of children and teachers who failed to evacuate were killed. The outer shell of the west wing of the school building with its reinforced concrete was all that remained. It was used as a relief center for victims of the blast and as a place to search for lost relatives and students. Even today you can still see the messages that people wrote with chalk remaining on the walls. Part of the west wing is now open to the public as a museum where visitors can see the message walls and other things from that devastating day.

This was on my shortlist of must see places in Hiroshima and I visited it before the former Bank of Tokyo and the Peace Memorial Museum. The individual accounts of pupils, staff and residents are...

Hiroshima Areas

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
