| Ebayama Museum of Meteorology |
First it’s a museum featuring meteorology standing on a hill called Ebayama. The displays will amuse children and its surroundings with trees and seasonal flowers are suitable for families to come and spend a couple of hours.
Second, the architecture, one example of expressionism, alone is significant and makes a good reason for you to come over and take a look at the details.
Third the main building, built in 1934 and 3.7 km away from the hypocenter, survived the A-bombing and has been preserved and in active use.
As I mentioned the museum is architecturally attractive and expressive. Details should be enjoyed here, such as a single canopy support, a thin canopy top, a frontal balcony, oblong windows, polished artificial stones for inside walls and floors. The gentle-looking outside staircase and rooftop with ornamental triangular openings are also noteworthy. This building showcases the development of Japanese architectural techniques in those days when
