Industrial heritage that tells the story of the history of modern water supply that supported the lives and development of Hiroshima citizens
The Waterworks Museum Annex is a renovated water measuring room built in 1935, and is currently used as a study room. This building is located about 2.8 km from the hypocenter of the first atomic bomb in human history, which was dropped on August 6, 1945. It is registered as a surviving "atomic bombed building" and has been selected as a "Modern Industrial Heritage" certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a heritage that tells the story of the modern waterworks that supported the lives of Hiroshima citizens and the development of industry, making it a valuable building of historical value. In front of the annex, there are exhibits of a pump installed at the Ushida water source during the Taisho era and part of the water pipe bridge (a structure that was exposed to the atomic bomb) that was erected upstream of Enko Bridge when the waterworks was established.
