the skyline is everything but spectacular but because this is the first time I see pix of modern day hiroshima and because I really like japanese cities (and because of pic 3) I give it a 7.5/10

[SteelCity32]

another underlooked city. It has come a long way since it was leveled.

8/10

[CTroyMathis]

Not Bad !!

You should post some of the pictures from the other thread you created, these don't do the city much justice. Based on the other pictures I saw, I give the city's skyline an 8.0/10

[Tony 175]

It LoOks BeTtEr now thAt itS noT leveled.

I givE iT a 7.

[parody24]

What a beautiful setting! There's more to Hiroshima
than I imagined. Very densely built. Those were
phenomenal pictures! I give it a 6.5 due to its
relative lack of height, but great density.

[Roscoe]

Nice and Clean. 8/10

[giallo]

Not much of a skyline but it looks like a compact, cool city. 6.0. The pictures of the missionairies in the second photo get a 10;).

[Puffdaddy]

I have been to Hiroshima before but it is very beautiful city. Hiroshima is not only a nice city but its city has excellent soical health care too. Very kind and funny people also~~!

[jmancuso]

I was just in Hiroshima last month and I was impressed. Very modern and clean and very much so on a human scale similar to that of European and northern American cities. I was also impressed by Kure, Japan (about an hour south of Hiroshima).

[Jeff from Winnipeg]

It's pretty dense, but nothing that really stands out (from what i've seen in those pics anyways) ->7/10 I do like it, tho.

Thank you for your posting, HIRO. ;)
Good panoramas.

[DrumCorpsAlum]

Some interesting things there, but the actual skyline is a bit spread out. 6/10.

[weirdo]

9/10

[mimil]

[6fran]

This dity looks so very dense!!! :eek:

[weirdo]

the train (is it?) looks so plain though. a major turn off for such a beautiful city

[mimil]

It was designed in 1993.
I expect introduction of new vehicles.

[weirdo]

good thing then. i want to see pics of new trains once they're already there.:D do you take the pics? they're good.

[mimil]

[sOmeOne]

Wow! I'm impressed. I can't believe that this is the very place where the first nuclear bomb was dropped... amazing! 9/10

Any city that can rebuild itself from a nuclear attack and total destruction deserves a lot of credit for that alone. Plus the skyline is actually quite nice.
So for a city of it's size I give it 8.5

[james2390]

nice 8

Some beautiful tall buildings there, but they are too spread out and the skyline lacks a good defining point.

[ryanr]

Modern! Too bad the tallest buildings are far from each other. They would make a nice cluster. 7.5/10

[Fragem2001]

I would give a 9/10 because of the level of Developement Since we destroyed it. Got to give big thumbs up to the Japanese. They were a good fight in WWII and would probally be a good fight again if we ever went to war them. If Tokoyo doesn't impress you, nothing will.

[Shems71]

Very good, very impressive as all Japanese cities!
C'est absolument merveilleux, j'adore!!
10/10

[Balikbayan]

Pretty amazing for a city rebuilt from practically NOTHING.
The skyline does lack a certain something though.

[Imperfect Ending]

well.. if you think about it, every city is built from nothing.
