Overview
Hiroshima is a place of deep history, natural beauty, and quiet strength. Known around the world as the first city to suffer an atomic bombing, it has become a symbol of peace and recovery. At Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, you’ll find moving reminders of the past, including the A-Bomb Dome and a powerful museum that helps visitors understand the events of 1945.
But Hiroshima is also full of life. Visit the rebuilt Hiroshima Castle, stroll through tree-lined parks, or explore the island of Miyajima, where the floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine seems to rise from the sea. Adventurers can hike up Mount Misen for stunning views and forest trails.
And don’t miss Hiroshima’s comfort food—okonomiyaki, a savory pancake layered with noodles, cabbage, and sauce. Hiroshima welcomes travelers with warmth, reflection, and hope.
