Motomachi Bank of the Ōta River

The Motomachi Bank stretches along the Ōta River with concrete structures designed to prevent erosion and stabilize the riverbank surface.

Built in 1983, this revetment forms part of the flood control infrastructure developed to protect Hiroshima from the seasonal water level variations.

The revetment integrates with the urban landscape of Hiroshima, connecting residential areas to the water system that defines the city layout.

Multiple access points along the revetment allow residents to reach the riverside, creating a functional connection between the urban environment and waterway.

The engineering design incorporates specific reinforcement patterns that accommodate the river's flow characteristics and tidal influences from the Seto Inland Sea.
