The Hiroshima castle was destroyed by the atomic bomb explosion at the end of WWII. After the main keep was rebuilt of concrete, a series of other buildings such as the main gate were reconstructed by using original methods.
In today’s photo you can see the main gate, a construction in the style yagura-mon (which means that it features a yagura tower built on top) and two corner turrets (sumi yagura) connected by a nagaya yagura, a long construction used as storehouse.
