Iwakuni Castle

The castle was originally constructed in 1608  and destroyed only seven years later. It was reconstructed in 1962. The care of historical places and items speaks to Japan's interest in their own history. Iwakuni Castle is situated at the top of Mount Shiroyama, and can only be reached on foot or by cable car.

Kintai Bridge
The Kintai Bridge spans the Nishiki river and was first constructed in 1673 by Hiroyoshi Kikkawa. The bridge stood until September 14, 1950 when it was destroyed by a typhoon. True to the tenacity and resiliency of the Japanese people, only a week later they began to rebuild the bridge and finished it in three years.
