Description
The north side of the Kamiya-cho intersection, looking northeast from the south side of the prewar roundabout on the north side of the Western Drill Ground entrance. The roundabout is in the left foreground. What appears to be a tent can be seen on the right foreground. On the other side of the road, the area where the ground is not blackened is the Western Drill Ground. Behind it, from left to right, are the Hiroshima Telecommunications Bureau and the Hiroshima Telecommunications Hospital. In the right background is Mt. Futaba.
