広島 ひろしま Hiroshima
Hiroshima Castle with moat. These days it is all concrete with steel and wood on the outside. As is clear, apart from the museum and the Dome, there are no reminders of the events some 60 years ago if it were not for the pain still felt in many hearts.
おこのみやき
Hiroshima is well known for its delicious okonomiyaki eating places.
A new addition to the Hiroshima skyline are the gondola.
