The Atomic Bomb Dome, a World Heritage Site, is located near the center of Hiroshima City. It was not originally a park, but rather a place where merchants once gathered and inns, restaurants, and theaters lined the streets of Hiroshima. Why did this place flourish? The outer moat of Hiroshima Castle has now been filled in and turned into land, on which various buildings stand, but right in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome was the southwest end of the outer moat. Nowadays, land transportation is well developed, but at that time, marine transportation was the mainstream. The river is very important for transporting goods to Hiroshima Castle. The castle was built facing the river, and merchants started their business because of the castle. "Hiroshima River Cruise" will take you around the outer walls of Hiroshima Castle while imagining such a scene.
