“Countless soldiers, they say, marched right from this spot.” Ujina, now a bustling hub for ferries and cruise ships, whispers tales of a different era. Established in 1889, Ujina Port originally served as a military harbor. It played a crucial role in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars, witnessing the somber departures and often, the heart-wrenching returns of soldiers. Imagine the pier, once known as the Rokkan Pier, bustling with activity in 1902, purpose-built for military maneuvers. This very location saw countless troops dispatched to the battlefields, their fates uncertain. After World War II, Ujina’s purpose shifted. The old military pier, a haunting reminder of past conflicts, found new life as a Japan Coast Guard dock. With time, even this chapter closed as a new berth for grand cruise ships took precedence. The pier, now part of the seawall, stands as a silent sentinel. Though renamed Hiroshima Port, the echoes of Ujina’s military past linger. Look around, feel the weight of history, and remember the countless stories etched into these very grounds.
