HIROSHIMA
HSU’s history goes back to 1725. Its spacious campus is situated on a hill in the
northwest of Hiroshima, and a monorail or a bus provides rapid access to the center of the city. The Seminar House, which will serve as the participants’ dormitory, was completed in March, 2003, atop a hill on the HSU campus. Hiroshima is a city of over one million people located next to the Seto Inland Sea National Park. It is also unique in
having two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Itsukushima Shrine of Miyajima. The shrine is traditionally considered one of the three most scenic places in Japan.
