1. Mount Kinko (night view)
When talking about Hiroshima's night view, this is one of the best night view spots in the prefecture, and is often referred to as "Mount Golden." It is easily accessible, about 10 minutes by car from National Route 2, and is a popular date spot for couples on weekends.
2. Environment Bureau Naka Factory
This waste incineration plant incorporates the latest technology and was designed by world-famous architect Yoshio Taniguchi, with an architectural design that completely changes the image of waste treatment facilities.
3. Hiroshima Bridge (night view)
Hiroshima Ohashi Bridge and Kaita Ohashi Bridge, which extend to the Hiroshima-Kure Road, cross over the sea, and at night the illuminated bridges create a beautiful night view.
4. Mount Araya (Sea of Clouds)
When it comes to sea of clouds in Hiroshima Prefecture, Miyoshi City is famous, but Hiroshima City also has a sea of clouds spot that is just as good! It's worth seeing!
5. Hiroshima Castle (Upside-Down Castle)
The castle tower of Hiroshima Castle looks beautiful when seen across the moat, so we recommend taking photos from outside!
Hiroshima Castle
21-1 Motomachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture 730-00...
It is a five-storied castle built in 1599.
It was destroyed by the atomic bomb dropped on August 6, 1945, but the reinforced concrete castle tower was restored in 1958.
6. Waterfront open cafe
Why not spend a relaxing time at a stylish waterside cafe while feeling the changing seasons?
7. Paper Crane Tower
From the wooden deck observation space, you can enjoy a view you've never seen before.
8. Fukuromachi
Hiroshima's largest shopping area, housing Hondori Shopping Street, department stores, select shops, cafes and more.
9. Mitakiji Temple

It's a great photo spot! There are plenty of scenes you'll want to capture, such as stone Buddha statues with their various expressions and a water basin with flowing pure water.
