Excursion

As part of the excursion program for an international conference held at the Hiroshima International Conference Center, participants visited a state-of-the-art waste treatment facility (Hiroshima City Environment Bureau Naka Plant) and Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island.
Lunch boxes, including vegetarian and halal options, were distributed prior to departure from the Hiroshima International Conference Center to accommodate the dietary diversity of participants. During the bus ride to the Naka Plant, a professional English-speaking guide explained the history and purpose of the plant's construction, as well as the latest technology to provide renewable energy with a focus on the SDGs. Participants toured the plant with great interest, as some of the topics overlapped with those of the conference.
The participants then traveled by charter bus to Hatsukaichi/Miyajima-guchi, boarded a ferry to Miyajima Island, and enjoyed the history and scenery of Itsukushima Shrine. Accompanied by professional English-speaking guides, the participants gained a deeper understanding of the history and cultural background of the site and asked many questions, which were answered by the guides.
