    杉山清貴&オメガトライブの35周年コンサートで訪問しました。 ビルのような造りで、「ここでコンサート?」と思いましたが、中に入ると2000席近い立派なコンサートホールでした。 最寄駅はアストラムラインの白島駅。ちょっと歩けばJR駅もあります。帰りに混雑している場合はJRまで歩いてしまっても良いかも。

Hiroshima Areas

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.
