Hiroshima City Ebayama Museum of Meteorology, Meteorological museum in Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Japan

The Hiroshima City Ebayama Museum of Meteorology features exhibits about weather phenomena, including interactive displays demonstrating wind strength and cloud formation through specialized equipment and demonstrations.

Established in 1879 as Japan's first weather observatory, the facility survived the 1945 atomic bombing and continued its meteorological observations despite extensive damage.

The reinforced concrete building from 1934 displays early Showa period architecture and contains preserved walls with glass fragments from the atomic blast impact.

The museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees of 100 yen for adults, 50 yen for seniors and high school students, while younger visitors enter free.

The north exterior wall facing the bombing hypocenter and the 'Typhoon Box' simulation chamber allow visitors to experience both historical preservation and weather phenomena.
