Situated on the main Japanese<br \/>\n                            island of Honshu, in the center<br \/>\n                            of the Chugoku region, the city of Hiroshima offers plenty of sightseeing and recreational<br \/>\n                            opportunities to it\u2019s<br \/>\n                            visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">Hiroshima (\u5e83\u5cf6), meaning \u201cWide Island\u201d, is actually a delta with six rivers<br \/>\n                            running through it into the picturesque Seto<br \/>\n                            Inland Sea. The Ota River delta is in one of the most sheltered harbors on the Seto Inland<br \/>\n                            Sea, the city therefore<br \/>\n                            enjoys the mild climate provided by its position where the average temperature in winter is<br \/>\n                            5.9\u00b0C and in summer is<br \/>\n                            28.1\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">The city was founded in 1589 by Mori Terumoto, and soon after a castle was<br \/>\n                            constructed. It became the most formidable<br \/>\n                            fortification in the area, and established Hiroshima as an important commercial center of<br \/>\n                            the Chugoku Region.

Today, it is a major urban center; however the memory of the decimation of the city by an atomic bomb has not been<br \/>\n                            forgotten. Every year on August 6th, Hiroshima holds a ceremony in Peace Memorial Park, where the mayor reads the annual<br \/>\n                            Peace Declaration. The city of Hiroshima is determined to continue spreading its message of peace, and to eventually rid<br \/>\n                            our world of the threat of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<figure>\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hiroshimajohoku.ed.jp\/school\/cont\/wp-content\/themes\/johoku_theme\/img\/english\/hiroshima\/img01.jpg\"\n                                    srcset=\"https:\/\/hiroshimajohoku.ed.jp\/school\/cont\/wp-content\/themes\/johoku_theme\/img\/english\/hiroshima\/img01_2x.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\"><figcaption>The Atomic Bomb Dome<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"english__hiroshima__box flexbox flex-justify-between flex-align-start mb-20 flex-row-rev\">\n<p>Hiroshima is a vibrant city and offers a wide variety of experiences for the visitor.
