About Hiroshima

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park is one of the world's most moving places — the A-Bomb Dome's skeletal ruins preserved as an eternal reminder. Yet the city today is vibrant, forward-looking and proud, its message of reconciliation resonating powerfully. A 10-minute ferry to Miyajima Island delivers one of Japan's three official 'views of beauty': the floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine rising from the sea at high tide.

Highlights

  • Peace Memorial Park and Museum
  • Atomic Bomb Dome (UNESCO)
  • Miyajima Island floating torii gate
  • Itsukushima Shrine on the island
  • Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki
  • Momijidani Park autumn leaves in Miyajima
