    Hiroshima Fuchu-shi Jogecho Joge
    This area in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture prospered during the Edo period both as land under the direct control of the shogunate government and as a post station town which served as a center for trade in the Chugoku region. The entire area is filled with traditional old storehouses and townhomes covered with white plaster and namako walls and fitted with lattice doors. Many of these buildings are still used as shops and homes to this day, and visitors rave that here you can enjoy atmospheric scenery which is still heavily colored by the area’s past as a wealthy trade and financial district. Joge Christian Church serves as a symbol of the area and has even been included in a list of 100 Best Cultural Sites in Hiroshima Prefecture.

    久しぶりに、向原を訪れる事があったので、立ち寄ってみました。今回は、館内での買い物の他に、館の裏手のテラスから、桜を見学しました。川土手に植えられた桜がとてもきれいに咲いており、周囲の緑とともに、とても印象的な光景を造っていました。

    Hiroshima Sera-gun Seracho Kozan

    今高野山へ上がる参道を進み「総門」を潜った更に先に立っていました。訪問した時期が悪かったようで、館内設備改修工事との事で半年間程の休館に当たってしまいました。その代わり大きな「大田庄域図」で全域の地図や由来が良く分かるようになっていました。

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.
