Hiroshima Port Cruise Terminal-a

Ujina Pier Park, 3-chōme-12-12 Ujinakaigan, Minami Ward, Hiroshima, 734-0011

Twin-winged terminal pavilions with bird-safe glass walls facing the cruise ship berth.

This guide to Hiroshima Port Cruise Terminal-a explains why its curved roofline and matching twin pavilion, opened by Hiroshima Prefecture in spring twenty twenty-four, read from a passing ferry like a pair of wings resting on the pier, and how one building handles boarding passengers while its mirrored twin exists solely for immigration and customs checks. It looks closely at the terminal's nearly all-glass seaward wall and the faint dotted pattern printed across every pane, engineered for a reason beyond decoration. You will hear about the second-floor deck beside the old silver Tower of Paradise, built for watching the ships come in.
