Konnichiwa! My name is Aya.
I live in a port town called Kure City, 40 minutes by car from Hiroshima City.
We have many beautiful islands. There is a an abundance of seafood and fruits.
You will surely find your own Seto Inland Sea trip here in Hiroshima!
Peace Park
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was opened in 1955 with the aim of communicating the reality of the damage caused by the atomic bomb to people all over the world and contributing to the abolition of nuclear weapons and the realization of permanent world peace, which is the heart of Hiroshima. At 8:15 am on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was the first in the world to be damaged by an atomic bomb. Most of the town was destroyed and many people lost their lives. Even those who barely survived suffered great physical and psychological damage, and many A-bomb survivors are still suffering. The Peace Memorial Museum collects and displays photographs and materials showing the remains of the A-bomb survivors and the devastation of the A-bomb, as well as the history of Hiroshima before and after the A-bomb and the situation during the nuclear age. In addition to holding lectures on A-bomb experience by A-bomb survivors, we also lend out materials for peace learning.
Miyajima – Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima Shrine was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1996. The shrine built by Taira no Kiyomori is one of the most famous shrines in Japan that conveys the style of Shinden-zukuri in the Heian period, with an original arrangement structure based on the sea. At 200m off the coast of the precincts, there is a large torii gate with a height of about 16 meters, which is also a symbol of Miyajima, built only under its own weight, and you can walk to the bottom when the tide goes down. The vermilion-lacquered shrine, which connects the sea with a corridor, looks like it floats in the sea when the tide is full, creating a unique world view.
