Before the war, all the main streets were linked to the old Saigokukaido Highway which, in Hiroshima, was lined with densely packed stores. Gutters ran down both sides of the street, and some were covered with wooden planks. A web of alleys ran between the main streets, many of which served as playgrounds for children.
