Hiroshima Castle: A Historical Landmark with Seasonal Beauty

Hiroshima Castle, built in 1589 by the warlord Mōri Terumoto, stands as a symbol of Hiroshima City.
Also known as 'Rijō' or 'Carp Castle,' the name comes from the carp swimming in its moat.
The castle once boasted a magnificent main keep, which was tragically destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945.
In 1958, Hiroshima Castle was reconstructed and now serves as a history museum open to the public.
From the main keep, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Hiroshima City.
