- HIROSHIMA PHOTO ALBUM -
Iroha-maru Tenjikan (いろは丸展示館)
A museum located in Tomo Town, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture which presents materials tracing the history of the Iroha-maru, a ship used by famous historical personage Sakamoto Ryoma and his trading company, Kaientai. In 1867, the Iroha-maru collided with a warship belonging to Kishu Domain and sank in the sea off Tomo. Housed inside an old kura storehouse, the museum displays items brought back from surveys of the wreck, photographs, and dioramas. On the second floor, there is a recreation of the hidden room Ryoma used while staying in Tomo. This exhibit in particular makes a popular spot to take a commemorative photo or two.

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.
