Hiroshima City

Hiroshima City is an ordinance-designated city, giving it many prefectural level functions, and ranks as the largest metropolitan area in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions with its population of about 1.2 million. It is globally recognized not only as a city of peace, but also as an urban tourist destination blessed with mountains, rivers, and the sea. Hiroshima City underwent a terrible experience on August 6th,1945, when a single atomic bomb was dropped. However, it was reborn and has developed into the beautiful city that it is today, thanks to the great efforts and warm help of other cities in Japan and around the world.
