рддреНрд╡рд░рд┐рдд рддрдереНрдп: Look up to see gold-plated shachihoko ornaments glinting along the roofline, tiny sculptures meant to ward off fire. A five-story main keep houses exhibits of samurai armor and historical maps, and the moat plus reconstructed turrets make for a surprisingly photogenic stroll.
рдореБрдЦреНрдп рдЖрдХрд░реНрд╖рдг: Climb to the fifth-floor observation deck for a 360-degree sweep of the city, and on exceptionally clear days pick out Miyajima's torii about 20 kilometers across the bay. A haunting 1945 photograph near the entrance captures only the stone base after the August 6 blast, the contrast giving the preserved samurai armor and paper maps in the museum an unexpectedly intimate, human scale.
