Cherry Blossom Season is fast Approaching.

A GOOD PLACE TO SEE THE CHERRY BLOSSOM.

Constructed with the hope of eternal world peace, the park consists of a number of peace-promoting monuments. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum exhibits visual materials showing outlooks of Hiroshima at the time when it was granted with permanent peace after the war.

You can see several sites including the A-bomb dome that has been designated as a World Heritage Site, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, and International Conference Center Hiroshima. The bell chimes for peace within the Peace Memorial Park was selected as one of “Japan Sound View Best 100”.

Also, this place is a popular spot to admire beautiful cherry blossoms.

Every year you can see hundreds of people having Hanami near the rivers all along the peace park. As soon as the blossom blooms, then the crowds will follow.

▲Hiroshima▲ You shouldn't miss,,,,,!!

Hi there!!Today I'll　introduce my favorite's places to you.
Both of this place,you could feel relax and spend some slow-paced time there.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　「Hiroshima World peace Memorial Cathedral」

World peace Memorial Cathedral　built by　Murano Togo.Besides,the Cathedral is designated as important cultural properties in Japan.

Actually, I do not really care about religion,just like this architecture and beauty.
When the daylight　comes through the stained glass and it looks like a　abstract.
You can feel free to visit and go in there.(they are closed at 17:00)

And another place is Cafe which is called 「ORUGANZA」
The cafe is located really close from J-Hoppers Hiroshima and plus there are open till late!
They serve good food,drink and throw a party almost every weekend!!

Especially I like atmosphere of the cafe.The cafe is decorated with retro furnishings,wallpaper and goods.Also they often display some art works artist from Hiroshima.
