Nakajima-Honmachi District

It is now a part of Peace Memorial Park after World War Ⅱ.
This district was given birth in about 1600 A.D. as a part of "Jokamachi"(castle town of feudalism) and has a trap-bending for the sake of guard. After Meiji Restauration in 1868 this district has become the center of urban life surrounded by cinema, shopping center and a lot of traditional and modern shops, which were sometimes constructed in remarkable western style.
