Hiroshima, a city 🇯🇵, is a fusion of historical memory and natural beauty. Located in southwestern Honshu, Japan, it serves as the gateway to the Seto Inland Sea and a significant symbol of peace. From World Heritage sites to shrines on the sea, war relics to stunning gardens, a Hiroshima trip is definitely worth planning! 📸 Photos have been sent; let's get a glimpse into Hiroshima's cityscape and cultural charm! -- 🗺️ Recommended Hiroshima Attractions 🕊️ Atomic Bomb Dome & Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park A World Heritage site, this memorial bears witness to the history of World War II and the vision of peace. The museum displays relics and images of atomic bomb survivors, inspiring deep thought. ⛩️ Itsukushima Shrine (Miyajima) The vermilion torii gate, built into the sea, is one of Hiroshima's most iconic photo spots. At high tide, it appears to float on the surface, creating a dreamy and sacred scene. 🏯 Hiroshima Castle Also known as the "Carp Castle," it's most beautiful in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The castle grounds showcase samurai culture and historical artifacts. 🌳 Shukkeien Garden This Edo-period daimyo garden boasts a variety of seasonal floral displays, perfect for a peaceful stroll and photo opportunities. ⚓ Kure Yamato Museum & Tetsugakkan Exhibiting a model of the WWII battleship "Yamato" and the interior of a submarine, this is a must-see for military enthusiasts and history buffs. 🗼 Paper Crane Tower This observation tower, located near the A-Bomb Dome, offers panoramic views of Peace Park and the city, making it a new landmark in Hiroshima. --- 🍜 Must-Try Hiroshima Food • Hiroshima Oyster: A distinctly different take on Osaka-style yaki, layered with fried noodles and cabbage, we recommend "Michan Sohonten" B. • Hiroshima Oysters: Available in abundance in winter, they are sweet and plump, and can be enjoyed raw, grilled, or cooked as oyster rice. • Conger eel (anago): A specialty of the Seto Inland Sea, often found in sushi and donburi. • Momiji Manju: A Miyajima specialty, with a fluffy crust and a variety of fillings (red bean, matcha, cream). --- 🚇 Transportation • Shinkansen: Directly connects to Hiroshima Station from Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. • Tram: A convenient and retro alternative to Hiroshima's urban area. • Ferry: Access Miyajima by ferry, valid on both JR and Matsudai Kisen lines. • Tourist Pass: Recommended: Visit Hiroshima Pass, valid for trains, buses, and ferries --- 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations • Hotels near Hiroshima Station: Conveniently located, perfect for island hopping and city exploration • Miyajima Onsen Ryokan: Enjoy ocean views and hot springs, with a stay-and-two-meal plan recommended • Around Hondori Shopping Street: Conveniently located for shopping and dining, perfect for independent travelers --- 💡 Tips • Miyajima's Torii gates have been renovated, allowing close-up photography. • The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum exhibits are quite heavy, so it's recommended to reserve time for a quiet visit. • Autumn's crimson leaves and winter's oysters are perfect for touring, and spring's cherry blossoms are also beautiful. • Hiroshima can be combined with other areas like Onomichi and Takehara for an in-depth tour of the Seto Inland Sea.
