Sights of Hiroshima

Travelling was not a problem because all places are given in English too.

Another shrine & Hiroshima Castle. Apparently the girls in red and white dresses are called "miko" maidens and serve sake in the shrines (and sweep the grounds).

This is a concrete replica of the keep ("donjon") of Hiroshima Castle which was built by the Mori Clan in 1589. The original castle was completely destroyed by the A-bomb and this is now a museum.
