Travel Journal 2017: Hiroshima

Hiroshima, the second to last stop on our trip. We went to the Shukkeien landscape garden and Hiroshima Castle. The original castle was destroyed in the atomic bombing of the city in 1945, the reconstruction is made of reinforced concrete. It’s not unusual in Japan to reconstruct historical buildings like this, including the wooden parts.

Tomorrow we’ll treat ourselves to a quiet day and just wander aimlessly around the city.
