Day 6 — Hiroshima & Fukuyama^JP

The city of Hiroshima was completely obliterated from the world in 1945, a trauma that will mark Japan forever. Kenzo Tange designed the recently renovated Hiroshima Memorial Museum there and Hiroshi Sambuichi Hiroshima Hill, a vantage point over the city.

We travel along the coastline, stopping along the way in Fukyuma at the Shinshoji Zen temple with a pavilion by Terunobu Fujimori and Sandwich. With the setting sun at our backs, we arrive in the port city of Takamatsu. Our home base for exploring the art islands over the next few days.
