“Hiroshima Castle” was built in 1589 by Terumoto Mouri, the grandson of Motoki Mouri.

This castle was once completely destroyed by the atomic bomb, but the castle tower was rebuilt in 1958.

Ninomaru’s front gate, Hirayagura, Tamonyagura, and Taikoyagura were also restored to their Edo period by 1994.

Hiroshima Castle is also called “Rijo”, and this “Koi” (= carp) is the origin of the name “Hiroshima Toyo Carp”.
