Hiroshima Castle

Hiroshima Castle was founded by Mōri Terumoto in the 1590s on the delta of the Ōta River. The keep, destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945 and rebuilt in concrete in 1958, closed in March 2026 because of its ageing structure and is seen from outside; the reconstructed gate, turrets and walls of the Ninomaru bailey remain open.
