“Did you know a school sits on land once bursting with fruit trees?” I ask, gesturing towards the Hiroshima City Inokuchidai Junior High School. This area, Inokuchidai, in Hiroshima’s Nishi Ward, has a rich history. Inokuchidai Junior High School stands as a testament to the area’s growth and development. The name “Inokuchi” dates back to the Warring States period. One theory suggests it comes from the resemblance of Mt. Inokuchi to a “boar’s mouth”. Another points to the mouth of a nearby river. This area transformed significantly thanks to the Mitsubishi Estate Company. Before development, this very spot was a lush orchard. Imagine the fragrant blossoms and the bounty of fruit. The transformation began in the mid-20th century. By 1985, the population had grown to over two thousand. Just five years later, it more than doubled to over five thousand residents. The year 2000 saw another surge, pushing the population past seven thousand. Today, Inokuchidai Junior High School serves this thriving community. The school is easily accessible by public transportation. The Hiroden bus and nearby train stations connect it to the wider city. This allows students easy access to education in this now bustling residential area.
