Hiroshima Castle
Hiroshima's original castle, built in the late 16th century, was
totally destroyed in the atomic blast but has been reconstructed as
a perfect reproduction of the original. The castle houses a museum
detailing the city's history and the historic feudal system. The
exhibits include some models of ancient Hiroshima and the
castle.

Language
Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people
will have studied English at school, but few can speak it well or
understand what is said to them.
Money
The currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is equal to 100
sen. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and
stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to
3pm. Travellers cheques offer the best exchange rate and are best
taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
Opening Times
Daily 9am-5:30pm; 9am-4:30pm (October to
March).
