Welcome party at Hiroshima Castle, a designated national historic site and the cradle of Hiroshima's history and culture (in front of Gokoku Shrine).
An open-air welcome party was held on the grounds of Hiroshima Castle (in front of Gokoku Shrine), an attractive location for overseas participants, with catering provided by a local bakery and with sustainability in mind. Entertainment included a kendama performance and a demonstration by the Aki Hiroshima Busyoutai (Samurai performance), which entertained the international conference participants.
After the party at the castle grounds, the guests moved to a hotel’s banquet hall, where they enjoyed locally produced food and beverages, the same as those served at the welcome reception for the 2023 G7 Hiroshima Summit. The menu, consisting of locally produced and consumed ingredients and sake from breweries in Hiroshima Prefecture, was well received by participants from Japan and abroad.
The group then moved to Nagarekawa, the nightlife district of Hiroshima City, to experience the Japanese "Niji-kai" (second party) culture.
