Grand GANGI staircase on the river

Grand GANGI at Kusunoki-cho

This must be one of the oldest traditional GANGI staircase in Hiroshima. Fantastic view from the boat. And the A-bomb Dome looks like this from a river cruise. There are currently six rivers flowing in the city of Hiroshima, tributaries of Otagawa river. No wonder many GANGI stairs have been made, about 400 including old and new in the central area of the city. With GANGI, boats can be moored regardless of the height of the tide. Very clever, practical, and fun.
