‘Hiroshima is a beautiful city.’

Hiroshima is a beautiful city. When I opened the curtains of my hotel room on the thirteenth floor, it was all spread out before me. It sits in a crescent bay, its extended arms seemingly holding the sea in a wide embrace. In the centre is the bay area, and the suburbs fan out among the wooded hills, which rise gently up from it. It is breathtaking.
