General Information
- Hiroshima, Your Host City
- Hiroshima is located in the center of Western Japan and has a population of 1.1 million. Surrounded on three sides by deep green mountains and facing the Seto Inland Sea National Park, it is among the most scenic of Japan's major cities. As a result the first atomic bomb dropped in the history of mankind, the city's downtown areas were reduced to smoldering ruins in but a moment on August 6, 1945.
Following the war, however, the city arose from its destruction to rebuild itself as the International City of Peace and Culture.
As pre- and post-convention destinations, Hiroshima has many things to offer. Itsukushima Shrine, on Miyajima Island, is one of the most famous sights in Japan. Along with the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Memorial Park, it was registered on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1996.
- Climate and Clothing
- The weather during the Meeting period, mid-November, is generally mild with an average daily temperature range of 8 to 15 degrees. Accordingly, participants are recommended to bring a sweater and light coat. The International Conference Center Hiroshima and all of the city's major hotels are fully heated and air conditioned.
- Website
- A variety of additional information on Hiroshima history, natural landmarks, convention facilities, hotels, transportation and art can be found at the following website for City Hiroshima: http://www.hiroshima-cdas-or.jp/hcb/
