Hiroshima in an unpopular corner...but the most worth going to 🤍🎎⛩️🦌

1 Day 2 Characters in Hiroshima — Walk around Otake, enjoy art, and cross the sea to worship the Torii at Miyajima ⸻ 1 Day Trip 🍃 Start the morning at Ōtake, a small, quiet town in Hiroshima with almost no tourists. Here we warp into another universe...full of art in old buildings, a small Otaku bookstore, and a cafe decorated in a minimalist Japanese style. Art lovers will love it because every corner has details, from drawings on the walls to anime posters in front of the store. 💛 We stopped at a coffee shop that served manga-themed lattes and homemade cheesecake—simple but good! In the afternoon, we traveled to Miyajima. It took less than 15 minutes to take a ferry from the shore to the island. We walked straight to Itsukushima Shrine, which has a torii gate standing tall in the middle of the sea. At low tide, you can walk down to it. The afternoon light hits the red wooden gate. It's magical without editing 📸 Walk around Omotesando Street, buy souvenirs, try some hot mochi, and end the day by watching the sunset from the seaside. It's simple but fulfilling 🍃 ⸻ 📍【Must-visit attractions】 1. Ōtake Art Alley - An artistic alley in a quiet town with street art, cafes, and a light otaku vibe 2. Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima - A torii gate in the middle of the water that changes its atmosphere with the tide It is a Japanese memory that you should see with your own eyes. 3. Omotesando Street – The main street on the island full of delicious food, souvenirs, and the scent of old Japan ⸻ 🍡【Must-try delicious food】 1. noie Otake Café – Cartoon-patterned latte + homemade matcha cheesecake 2. Momijido – Grilled mochi filled with red beans, fresh and fragrant from the charcoal oven 3. Ueno Anagomeshi – Old-fashioned charcoal-grilled eel rice bowl, served warm in a fragrant wooden box ⸻ 🏨【Recommended accommodation】 • Recommended accommodation area: Hiroshima City (near JR Hiroshima / Miyajimaguchi) • Hotel name: The Knot Hiroshima • Address: 3-1-1 Otemachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0051 Convenient access to both Otake and the ferry to Miyajima ⸻ 📸【Photo spot】 1. Art wall in Otake – Graffiti corner and old wooden cafe is a cool Japanese feel, hard to find 2. Torii gate in the middle of the sea (Miyajima) – Take a picture when the tide is low, you can walk close to it. Take a picture when the tide is high, it looks like it's floating in the air 3. Alley behind Omotesando – The atmosphere of the quiet wooden houses with natural light in the afternoon and evening is very soft ⸻ 💡【Tips】 • Start the day early to spend time with both places • If you want a beautiful Torii picture, check the time "high or low tide" on the Miyajima Tide website • Buying a Hiroshima Pass will save you money on JR + boat fare • If you like a quiet mood, the autumn leaves (November) or late March (sakura season) are especially beautiful • Don't miss the hot mochi on the island.
