    This museum is located in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, in Naka District, of Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

    静かです。亀山神社が、昔し鎮座していた場所です。来場者が少なく、ゆっくり見ることが出来ます。職員は入船山の事をあまり知らないようで、説明看板も少なく、残念です。食事などをすることはできません。お茶の販売機は有ります。夏、冬は、冷暖房の設備がない為、服装に気お付けて下さい。

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
