Description | Looking south-southeast from the Fukuya Department Store new building. This photo was taken from the emergency stairs of the Fukuya Department Store new building. The cemetery in the center is Hanshuji Temple. This area is called Higashi Shintenchi. From the left, Kanawajima island and Ujinajima Island (Moto Ujina-machi and Mukou Ujina) can be seen. The original plan was to photograph the entire city from the rooftop, but the 8th floor was too hot to enter due to the still-smoldering embers, so the photographer took what photos he could. |
