Nishi Fire Station near Peace Park

Skeleton-like floors - Good for height training 

This is one of the architecture you can easily enjoy due to its rather convenient location: 20 minutes from the fountain in front of the main wing of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I timed it yesterday. But you can go there by bus too. Or take a tram at the stop near the A-bomb Dome.


The building is fun and educational. It's an interesting piece of architecture and what's more you can get to see the personnel in training. They look so cool. They are reliable and capable fighters against disasters. Thank you guys !!

Hiroshima fire fighters !

Talk to the personnel at the guard station on the ground level and apply for going up the building then you'll be permitted to go up to the 7th floor with your pass wearing around your neck. 


For architectural details, please go to arch-hiroshima. I did most of the translation of this site.

Up you go !

The fire station faces the Peace Boulevard.
