	HIROSHIMA

		Peace Memorial Park The park is dotted with memorials including the cenopath which contains the names of all the known victims of the bomb and frames the A-bomb Dome across the river.
	Itsukushima-jinja Shrine The shrine is unusual because the buildings are built on piles over the shallows at the water's edge, and are joined by narrow galleries.
		Itsukushima The view of the torii, which is immortalized in thousands of travel brochures, requires high tide.
