Hiroshima（Hiroshima 、ひろしま、Hiroshima) Is an industrial city with wide boulevards and crisscrossing rivers, located on the coastline of the Seto Inland Sea. Although many people's understanding of Hiroshima is limited to the disaster it suffered in World War II and was the first area in the world to be hit by an atomic bomb, Hiroshima has now developed into a bustling modern metropolis. Those tourists whose impressions of Hiroshima are still in ruins, when they walk outShinkansenI will be surprised at the time, because Hiroshima is now like other modern Japanese cities, lined with tall buildings, and at night is a scene of feasting and feasting. Young people dine at McDonald's, and the latest mobile phones in the shop window attract them; the unlucky office workers hurried across the street to go to a meeting, casting tired eyes at the shabby bar by the road. At first glance, you can hardly imagine the appalling things that have happened here.
