Hiroshima Prefecture [広島県] | Discussion thread and projects
Ke|is posted a topic in SC4 City Journals
~ Welcome everyone to Hiroshima Prefecture. Here you will discover japan like never before ~ Hiroshima Prefecture (広島県 Hiroshima-ken) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Chūgoku region of Honshu. Hiroshima has a population of around 2,377,631 and has a geographic area of 6,112 km2 (2,359 sq mi). Hiroshima Prefecture borders Okayama Prefecture and Yamaguchi Prefecture. Hiroshima is the capital and the largest city of Hiroshima Prefecture, with other major cities including Kure, Hatsukaichi, Higashihiroshima, etc... Hiroshima Prefecture is located at the western tip of Honshu with coastlines on Seto Inland Sea. It is important to state and confirm that this project is not a recreation of the real Hiroshima region. I am simply taking the map and the names of the real region, as well as using the real city as a blueprint and as inspiration for my own creation. But this is not a recreation. In the images above you can see two maps, the first is the real area from which I have taken my inspiration, the second is the final map I am using in the game. As you can see, I have made some modifications in the terrain, I have added some islands, some more coastal areas, I have modified some angles, etc...But in general terms we can say that the map remains quite faithful to reality, although it is very possible that it will be modified little by little using the tools of the game to adjust it as much as possible to my plans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Information of interest: - A metropolis surrounded by nature: The city and prefectural capital is a vibrant metropolis with more than a million inhabitants where nature, modernity and antiquity live side by side. The region has a young and modern culture that respects and strongly remembers its past. Religion is important and there are many temples scattered throughout the area which we will gradually visit and get to know. The city has a modern transport system, skyscrapers, ports and international airports, and is a metropolis surrounded by sea and mountains. - Economy: The city has an economy based largely on the sea, its industrial ports and the movement of goods around the world make this region an economically positive place. Tourism, business, and Japanese culture are an added bonus that make this region a place with a more than assured future. In recent years, the regional government has made great efforts to bring the region up to the standards of Japan's major cities and regions. - Urban planning and architecture: Large residential areas cover most of the prefecture's land. In fact, the whole region is connected by different villages and towns in which residential houses predominate. The region is heavily populated by old Japanese style houses, made of wood and mostly coloured in different colours. This is one of the characteristics and signs of this region. If you go to the centre of the prefectural capital, you will find modern skyscrapers and department stores. The region does not have any super skyscrapers at the moment, although there are plans to build some in the future. - A Religious Culture: Shinto is a religion originating in Japan, sometimes considered the indigenous religion of Japan. Along with Buddhism, it is one of the country's two main religions. The region is full of temples and shrines dedicated to these religions. Little by little we will visit and get to know all of them to discover this interesting culture which has motivated the construction of marvellous places all around the Prefecture. - Tourism: Prefecture's tourism focuses mainly on the region's temples and shrines. The Prefecture is visited to enjoy these unique places, such as Hiroshima Castle or Itsukushima Shrine located on an island in the prefecture's bay. In general, most tourists visit the region for a couple of days, usually including the Prefecture as a stopover on their travels around Japan. Currently, tourism in the region is not comparable to that of cities such as Tokyo or Osaka, but the local government is making great efforts to change this and put Hiroshima in a higher place. - Transport: The favourite word of Hiroshima's inhabitants is TRAIN ! The train is the biggest and most efficient transport in the region. You can practically go anywhere using the train. We will gradually get to know all the trains and models running around the Prefecture. The list is very long ! In addition, the city has two airports, a large number of ports, ferries, an excellent Highway system, two bullet train or shinkansen stations, last but not least, the region is also connected by an excellent bus system. - Ports and maritime economy: The region's economy is based on the transport of goods by sea, and its ports are the fuel of this economy. The entire coastline of the Prefecture is full of industrial ports. There are large areas of land reclaimed from the sea dedicated to port areas and there are already plans and future projects to build new ports in the region. Among the ports we can find container areas, gas and fuel ports, ports dedicated to the export of vehicles, as well as a large number of small ports dedicated to food and fishing. - Airports and international connections: The region has two airports, one for local use and one international airport built on an area reclaimed from the sea. Ana airlines and Japan airlines are the main airlines of the prefecture and the country. ANA airlines has one of its headquarters in the region as well. The International Airport is fully equipped to handle flights from all over the world. The city also has a small airport used to handle local flights, which is located in a densely populated area on Hiroshima Bay. Little by little we will learn much more about these airports and their management. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Additional information: The reason for this thread is the following. I would really like to build this region with all of you. It means, I would like to discuss with you about certain points, projects, share with you ideas about future projects, ask for your opinions and ideas, etc... I will try to share with you all kind of different things, such as the construction of the new airport, the main train station, transport planes, new port areas and hundreds of other things... I hope you like this project and you enjoy playing this game as much as I do. Thank you so much for your time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ City journal section list of updates: Currently no updates available* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Visit Hiroshima Prefecture and lose yourself in my own vision of Japan. I hope you enjoy your stay. ""arigatou gozaimasu"- 18 Replies

This is the TOTO Mall, made to fill in the for the lack of Japanese-style malls. I will be making more malls and stores and offices in future. TOTO is a company that sell toilet, the reason that their name is the main one on the big sign of the mall is that they were able to buy that spot, and kind of were able to "rename" the Mall. This mall is probably going to be updated very quickly, for quality reasons. This B.A.T. is a CS$$$, and is a 3x3 growable. This B.A.T. has dependencies: ML Texture. link: http://blog.livedoor.jp/moonlinght/archives/cat_59226.html(Make sure that you scroll down!)

Hiroshima Peace Memorial (広島平和記念碑 Hiroshima heiwa kinenhi?), commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome orGenbaku Dōmu (原爆ドーム?, A-Bomb Dome), in Hiroshima, Japan, is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ruin serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation.[1] This B.A.T. honors it. You can now place it in your city. It is a ploppable 1x1. The museum will be coming out later as well, along with the dome. -

G'Day Simtropians, Today I wish to present a map courtesy of a request by Art128, Thanks mate. Hiroshima is one of only two cities ever bombed with a nuclear device. Let us hope we have learned from our mistakes. However like a Phoenix she has risen from those ashes to shine brightly in our midst. See me up CLOSE and personal. This is a real world map and measures 49.152km x 40.96km, it was produced with dem and satellite data. It is in .SC4M format and requires Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer to import it into SC4. The map is terrain and scale accurate. A readme is provided free containing instructions and links an a pic. I think that's all. Cheers
