Introduction
Hiroshima City is situated on the delta of Ota River. Because it looks like a black carp, it is also known as "The Carp City". Its construction began in 1589 by the famous general Mouri Terumoto and took 10 years to complete. This beautiful city was completely destroyed in the 1945 atomic bombing. The current one was rebuilt in 1958. Standing on the top of the city, tourists can overlook the surrounding scenery. Besides displaying historical art and crafts, Hiroshima city is also a famous place for appreciating sakura, which attracts many tourists to visit it every spring.

good to visit and experience the old Samurai Culture
Where the atomic bombs were once detonated, it is now a beautiful town.
The real Hiroshima Castle was destroyed by atomic bombing, and the current building was later rebuilt. Hiroshima Castle is also called "Carp Castle", and it is said that it looks like a black carp. There is an exhibition inside Hiroshima Castle, but I think it’s beautiful to take pictures outside, and I completely forgot the exhibits inside. The Shukkeen Garden opposite Hiroshima Castle is very beautiful, and the view of Hiroshima Castle from the garden is very beautiful. Several scenic spots in Hiroshima are not far away, and sightseeing buses will arrive along the way, which is fun. The introductions of many scenic spots on the bus are great. I really got off to visit when I saw the introductions and felt interested. It is very convenient for the transportation of scenic spots.
This is a huge island (surrounded by a moat) to visit. There are many things to see... the trees that survived the explosion, the original stones from the castle, and of course, the beautiful large castle itself. Now it is a museum. Even if you don't like staying in the museum, the beauty here is still worth the entrance fee.
