Break down stereotypes! This is the TRANSPARENT INCINERATION PLANT.

Who can believe that this building is an incineration plant? But it really is. This modern architecture is actually an incineration plant of Hiroshima city, designed by Architect Yoshio Taniguchi who also designed MoMA’s new building. In the center of this building is there a tunnel-shaped transparent passage called "Ecolium"; in other words, you can stand in the middle of this factory and look out over the factory. Please make a challenge how “Instagramable” picture you can take. Ecolium is open from 9:00AM through 4:30PM every day! At the end, you will see the wide view of calm Seto Inland Sea, with this huge and modern architecture on your behind! Take steps down to the ground outside and see the sea and park with greenery and take a walk around. During weekdays, from Monday through Friday, you can also go up to the 6th floor (the entrance is on the 1st floor of the building), a really nice viewing gallery must be seen. Of course, this is all free of charge...

Your hotel like a home from home in Miyajima

This is one of the few Western-style hotels in Miyajima Island with Japanese touches. While the rooms have the classic bed style, you can take off your shoes in the style of a Japanese house and relax on the wooden floor. When you arrive at Miyajima and walk out of the ferry terminal, the brown building you see on your left is the Miyajima Villa. It welcomes guests at the entrance to Miyajima. Leave your heavy luggage behind at the hotel as soon as you arrive at the island, and head out for sightseeing lightly. Needless to say, Miyajima is a tourist destination registered as a World Heritage Site, and there is not enough time to enjoy all of the historical buildings, nature, shopping, and gourmet food, but there is also plenty of hospitality for guests to have a special time at this Miyajima villa. Feature 1: Bath with tatami mats Feature 2: Restaurants with locally produced and consumed food Feature 3: A special venue for guests Feature 4: Stay i...
