Hemiji & Hiroshima We took the train to Hemiji to visit the White Castle, a very large timber structure built on a very high stone base.

The castle has a large storage basement above the battlement area and six storeys above with a great view over the gardens and town. Back on the bullet train to Hiroshima...
