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

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

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.

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).

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

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.

Japanese cities are unique, even the city is not full with supertall like HK, NYC or Shanghai but their city still look huge, dense and beautiful, 8.5/10 Hiroshima
