About this spot

A castle built by Mori Terumoto and a symbol of Hiroshima. The main tower was lost during World War II, but the exterior has since been restored, and the interior now serves as a museum open to the public. From the observation floor on the top level, you can see across the city of Hiroshima and experience the history of its development as a castle town. The verdant grounds along the moat are perfect for leisurely strolls, making this an ideal starting point for a family day of experiencing history.
