Fukuyama, Core city in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

Fukuyama extends from inland commercial districts to coastal areas, with a central railway station positioned next to a reconstructed castle complex.

The establishment of Fukuyama as an official city in 1889 marked the beginning of its transformation from rural districts into an administrative center.

The port district of Tomonoura maintains traditional fishing practices while the Shinshoji Temple offers visitors an introduction to Japanese Buddhist architecture.

The central station provides direct rail connections to major cities, while local buses connect tourists to temples, coastal areas, and shopping districts.

The city combines maritime trade facilities with educational institutions, making it the second largest population center in Hiroshima Prefecture.
