Hiroshima marked the fifth anniversary on Tuesday of landslides that claimed 77 lives, with residents in the affected areas holding a memorial service to mourn the victims.
The memorial was attended by the bereaved families, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui and others.
Flowers were left at various sites across the city, including in Asakita and Asaminami wards — two areas hit particularly hard by the August 2014 mudslides.
