Aeon Mall Ota
This shopping mall is located near the Kita-Kanto Expressway's Ota-Kiryu Interchange. Along with the core store Aeon Supermarket, the mall consists of about 160 specialty stores, including fashion and general merchandise stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and other entertainment facilities.
Aeon Ota is seriously massive. All the brands you could want are here—I shopped until my feet hurt.
Atomic Bomb Dome (Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park)
The Atomic Bomb Dome, in its original design, was completed as the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall, by Czech architect Jan Letzel on April 5th, 1915. However, as it stood just 160 meters from the epicenter of the atomic bomb, it suffered severe damage from the blast. With a gutted steel frame and damaged exterior, its known colloquially as the Atomic Bomb Dome, a building that stands in testament to the tragic history unfolded here.
After visiting the museum and seeing all the historical photos and documents, I felt a bit down. I think it's better to just take some pictures outside.
Hiroshima Castle
Hiroshima Castle was built in 1589 by Terumoto Mori, known as one of the five dignitaries of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The castle is located in the center of Hiroshima city, famous as a major tourist attraction with easy access.
You can go up to the top floor of the main keep and get a great view of Hiroshima city.
