The Hiroshima Castle Moat Cruise began operating!~A special experience of feeling history from the water's surface~

Hiroshima Castle, a popular peace spot in the city, began operating sightseeing boats around the moat on Saturday, October 25th.

Hiroshima Castle was built by Mori Terumoto at the end of the Sengoku period, and the city of Hiroshima as we know it today was formed around the castle.
By taking a pleasure boat and immersing yourself in the history of Hiroshima Castle, you can enjoy the majestic stone walls and seasonal scenery from a new perspective that differs from viewing it from land.
On board, announcements will be made in both Japanese and English explaining the history and highlights of Hiroshima Castle.
We hope that tourists visiting Hiroshima as well as locals will enjoy the beauty and history of this "carp castle" in a relaxed atmosphere.
