- UNESCO World Heritage Atomic Bomb Dome; Peace Memorial Park; Motoyasu River and Honkawa River; Hiroshima Castle; Hiroshima Electric Railway; Chugoku Mountains; lush temperate Japanese delta flora; Kenzo Tange
- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the calm waters of the Motoyasu River from Peace Memorial Park toward the Atomic Bomb Dome, showing weeping willow fronds and stone riverbank railings in the foreground, the tranquil river water reflections, Motoyasu Bridge, and the skeletal brick dome in the middle-ground, and the soft city skyline and green Chugoku mountain ridges fading in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the lush lawns and mature tree canopies of Peace Memorial Park, weeping willows along the Motoyasu River, and the forested slopes of the Chugoku Mountains.
- Guarded against
- Not Tokyo, Kyoto, or Nagasaki
