Hiroshima Castle Evening Tour 2026

About this event

For the first time in history, projection mapping will be conducted on the main keep of Hiroshima Castle (Rijo), a symbol of Hiroshima City that is also selected among Japan's Top 100 Castles. Not only on the main keep, but also on the Omote Gomon gate and the castle stone walls, projections will display digital animations themed around "Rijo" such as the rivers flowing through the City of Water, Hiroshima, along with nishikigoi and koinobori (carp streamers), as well as ukiyo-e depicting the World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine. Furthermore, the Gomon-bashi Bridge and Honmaru inner bailey will be illuminated, magically coloring various areas of the castle grounds at night. This is a limited-time nighttime event that brilliantly adorns Hiroshima Castle and its grounds with cutting-edge digital art. Viewing is free, and no advance application is required.
