Hiroshima Station

The station yard roof and the waiting room located in front of the main entrance were destroyed as a result of the first atomic bombing in history. The station building was engulfed in flames and totally destroyed, killing and injuring large numbers of travelers and station employees. However, due to the untiring efforts of the employees who survived, the restoration process was soon underway. The Ujina line was back in operation on August 7 and the Sanyo line was partially opened on August 8, providing refuge for the survivors and the transportation of supplies.
