HiroshimaHiroshima’s shotengais are a vital part of the city’s fabric, offering a real glimpse into local life. Shotengais (long, often covered shopping streets) are traditional areas lined with a variety of shops and eateries, catering to everyday needs. These traditional shopping streets have been a fixture of the city for generations, surviving both the devastation of the past and the ongoing changes of modern life. As you walk through, you’ll encounter a mix of old and new—shops selling everything from everyday goods to local specialties. These bustling streets are where the people of Hiroshima go about their daily routines, whether it’s shopping for groceries, enjoying a casual meal, or chatting with local vendors. The food here isn’t just for show; it’s part of the city’s everyday life, with dishes like Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and street food. It’s a straightforward look at how the city operates and the blend of its historical past with its present-day vitality.

Hiroshima CastleHiroshima Castle, also known as Carp Castle, is a striking symbol of the city’s pre-war heritage. Originally built in the late 1500s by the powerful feudal lord Mori Terumoto, the castle was a focal point of the city for centuries. However, like much of Hiroshima, it was destroyed in the atomic bombing of 1945. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the castle, which include the remnants of the stone walls, moat, and foundation, providing a stark reminder of the city’s past. The reconstructed Hiroshima Castle, which stands near the original site, offers a look at what the castle may have looked like before the bombing, though it is a modern reconstruction built after the war. The surrounding park, filled with cherry trees that bloom in spring, is a popular spot for locals to relax and reflect. The ruins, along with the reconstructed keep, offer a layered perspective of Hiroshima’s resilience, connecting the city’s rich feudal history to its post-war rebirth.
