Plan Your Visit
Most travelers find two to three days ideal for Hiroshima and its surroundings. Begin with the Peace Memorial Park to understand the city’s story, then balance it with the lighter pleasures of Miyajima, the castle, and the rabbits of Okunoshima. The streetcar network and JR lines make moving between sights and day trips simple and affordable.
What to Eat
Hiroshima has its own beloved style of okonomiyaki, layered rather than mixed and piled high with noodles and cabbage. The coastal location also means excellent oysters, especially in the cooler months. Save time for a meal in the central districts, where countless restaurants serve both local specialties late into the evening.
With its blend of remembrance, scenery, and friendliness, Hiroshima leaves a lasting impression. Explore the full guides below to build the trip that suits you.
