    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 Pref. Hiroshimashiminamiku Ujinamiyuki 2-6-20
    This museum is located in Minami Ward, Hiroshima City. It is notable for its building made of red bricks, a former Japanese army built in the Meiji period, which survived the atomic bombing. The museum’s permanent exhibits introduce the history of the regional industries that developed in the Hiroshima City region starting in the Edo period. It also has a hands-on exhibit room where visitors can touch items such as a stone mortar and pestle, a loom, and more. The museum also holds special exhibits, classes, and other events.

    被爆建物はいくつもありますが、広島市の中心部からここは3km程度でしょうか。「ひろでんの路面電車」で宇品港方面に乗れば楽に行けると思います。河川敷の窪地のような場所にちょこんとあります。赤レンガの可愛いい感じの建物です。歴史的にも意義は大きいと思いますので、時間があればぜひ訪ねてみてください。

    Hiroshima Pref. Hiroshimashinakaku Ebanihonmatsu 1-2-43
    This history museum in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City was opened in 2012. It is located inside one of the homes built by Floyd Schmoe for the citizens of Hiroshima after the atomic bombing. The building was restored and relocated to its current location. There, visitors can learn about the support that Hiroshima received from people around the world after the atomic bombing. Visitors at the museum, which is visited by many tourists, can receive a guided tour by the museum’s staff (reservation required).

    終戦後、フロイド・シュモー氏の呼びかけに応じた国内外のボランティアが原爆で家を失った広島に建設した住宅や集会場の内、現存する最後の１棟。現在は本来の役割を終え、広島平和記念資料館の付属施設として、被爆後の広島に寄せられた海外支援を今に伝える役割を担っています。が、シュモーハウスとして、彼らの活動を今に伝えています。 展示された１枚の建設現場写真に写っている以下のスローガン（英語）が、とても印象に残...

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.
