Hiroshima City Museum of History and Traditional Crafts

About

Housed in a striking 1911 red-brick former army ration factory, this museum offers a unique look into Hiroshima's pre-war industrial and cultural heritage. Inside, you'll find fascinating exhibits on local traditional industries like nori (seaweed) cultivation, oyster farming, and wooden ship building. It is a wonderful, quiet alternative to the city's peace memorials, showcasing how everyday people lived and worked.

Insider Tip

Combine your visit with a trip to nearby Ujina Port; take the vintage Hiroshima Electric Railway (streetcar) line 1, 3, or 5 directly there.
