“Six rivers, can you imagine?” the old woman chuckled, her eyes twinkling as she gestured towards the Enko River. “Hiroshima, you see, is a city built on water.” The Enko River, she explained, is more than just a river. It’s a vein, a pulsing artery that has coursed through the heart of Hiroshima for centuries. Imagine, she urged, the days of old, when the Enko River was a bustling waterway. Its surface, a kaleidoscope of boats, ferrying goods and travelers along the historical Saigoku Kaido route. This road, she explained, connected the old capital of Kyoto to the southern provinces of Kyushu. The Enko River, therefore, was a vital link in a chain that stretched across Japan. She pointed to a nearby bridge, its modern architecture a stark contrast to the ancient stories she wove. “That’s the Ekimae-ohashi bridge,” she informed us. “It’s being built for the tram and will open soon.” The Enko River, she concluded, is a testament to Hiroshima’s resilience. It’s a mirror reflecting the city’s past, present, and future.
