Tenmonkan

Tenmonkan located in the central area of Kagoshima City is the biggest downtown area in southern Kyushu.

It is called by this name because Meijikan, a facility built in 1779 by the lord of Satsuma as a place for astronomical observation and calendar making, was otherwise known as Tenmonkan which literally means "astronomical center."

With shopping arcades and malls, you will find a variety of different facilities pertaining to shopping, gourmet, and entertainment such as caf?s, restaurants, eating establishments serving local dishes, and stores selling general merchandise and souvenirs.

Although a stylish town crowded with busy shoppers during daytime, its atmosphere changes drastically after dark as a nightlife district glittering with bright neon lights. Indeed, it is a popular area loved by local residents and tourists alike.

Hiroshima is the principal city of the Chugoku Region and home to over a million inhabitants.

When the first atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the city became known worldwide for this unenviable distinction. The destructive power of the bomb was tremendous and obliterated nearly everything within a two kilometer radius.

After the war, great efforts were taken to rebuild the city. Predictions that the city would be uninhabitable proved false. Destroyed monuments of Hiroshima's historical heritage, like Hiroshima Castle and Shukkeien Garden, were reconstructed. In the center of the city a large park was built and given a name that would reflect the aspirations of the re-born city: Peace Memorial Park.

Friendly Staff at the Mazda Headquarters Building

The Mazda Motor Corporation, founded in Hiroshima in 1920, still retains its headquarters in the city of its origins. In addition to the corporate headquarters, Mazda owns a large plot of coastal land which accommodates research and development laboratories, factories, and shipping facilities. Mazda has made a company museum and part of a factory available for public viewing.

Like Toyota to Nagoya, Mazda plays a large role in Hiroshima's economy. Although Mazda may not be nearly as big as Toyota, it still produces over a million cars a year and is an innovative participant of the Japanese auto industry. For instance, in 1991 Mazda became the first and only Japanese company to win the Le Mans Grand Prix.

The Cars of the Past

To visit the Mazda Museum, reservations must be made by phone or e-mail beforehand (see official website for details), as the facilities can only be seen on a guided tour. Tours for individual travelers are offered once per day in English and Japanese. Reservations can be made up to a year in advance.

Visitors to the museums first assemble at the Mazda head office building and sign in at the front desk. When the tour is scheduled to begin, a Mazda tour guide directs visitors onto a bus to take them to the museum building on the nearby grounds of Mazda's Hiroshima Plant.

The museum offers an overview of Mazda's history, a look into the technology of its automobiles and the prospects for its future developments. The tour then passes through an actual vehicle assembly line, where visitors can see a variety of different car models being produced. At the end of the tour there is a shop featuring Mazda goods. The tour takes a total of 90 minutes.

A Car of the Future

How to get there

Take a local train from Hiroshima to Mukainada Station (5 minutes, 180 yen, frequent departures), from where the Mazda Head Office can be reached in a five minute walk.

Before the bomb, the area of what is now the Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot's target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities.

The park's main facility is the Peace Memorial Museum. Consisting of two building, the museum surveys the history of Hiroshima and the advent of the nuclear bomb. Its main focus though is on the events of August 6; the dropping of the bomb and its outcome in human suffering. The personal details displayed are quite upsetting. The museum is geared to accommodate its international visitors.

Entrance to Museum

Display in Museum

The A-Bomb Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is what remains of the former Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The building served as a location to promote Hiroshima's industries. When the bomb exploded, it was one of the few buildings to remain standings, and remains so today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the A-Bomb Dome is a tangible link to Hiroshima's unique past.

Between the Museum and the A-Bomb Dome is the Cenotaph for the A-Bomb Victims. The Cenotaph is an arched tomb for those who died because of the bomb, either because of the initial blast or exposure to radiation. Below the arch is a stone chest holding a register of these names, of which there are over 220,000.

Every year on the anniversary of the bomb, a ceremony is held at the park. Speeches are made, wreathes are laid at the Cenotaph, and a moment of silence is observed at 8:15 am, the precise moment of detonation. Other activities occur throughout the day, and many staff are employed to help foreign visitors.

From Hiroshima Station, take tram line 2 or 6 to Genbaku-Domu mae station. The ride takes 15 minutes and costs 150 yen.
