I stopped by by car because it was on the way from Hiroshima IC to Hiroshima Station. Park your car in the parking lot of the Higashi Ward Sports Center (charged) and walk for about 5 minutes. The inside is a two-story building with only stairs. The history of water supply in Hiroshima and the hardships of water supply after the atomic bombing are exhibited. Free.

You can study water in the facilities of the A-bombed building.
