Discover Hiroshima
Hiroshima is a city that tells two powerful stories: one of profound tragedy and one of remarkable rebirth. Walking through the Peace Memorial Park, where the skeletal A-Bomb Dome stands as a silent witness, offers a deeply moving experience that contrasts sharply with the vibrant, modern city that has grown around it. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a living testament to resilience, where the message of peace is palpable in every corner.
Beyond its solemn memorials, Hiroshima pulses with contemporary energy. The city is famous for its unique style of okonomiyaki, cooked on hot plates right before you in bustling multi-story restaurants. Just a short ferry ride away lies the sacred island of Miyajima, where the iconic 'floating' torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine appears to drift on the tide—a scene of serene beauty that has captivated visitors for centuries.
Why Visit Hiroshima?
1
Experience a profound journey through history at the Peace Memorial Park, where the preserved A-Bomb Dome and the emotionally powerful exhibits of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum offer a sobering yet essential reflection on peace and the human cost of war.
2
Visit the sacred island of Miyajima, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to see the iconic vermilion torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine appear to float on the water at high tide and wander among friendly, free-roaming deer in a stunning natural setting.
3
Savor Hiroshima's unique culinary claim to fame: layered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Watch as chefs at places like Okonomimura ('Okonomiyaki Village') expertly build this savory pancake with cabbage, noodles, egg, and your choice of toppings on a hot teppan grill.
4
Witness the city's inspiring story of regeneration by exploring its modern districts like the bustling Hondori Shopping Arcade and the sleek Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, which showcase how life and beauty have flourished anew.
5
Enjoy exceptional accessibility and walkability. Hiroshima's compact city center, efficient tram system, and the convenient ferry to Miyajima make it incredibly easy to explore its major sights without the hassle of complex transit.
6
Discover a different side of Japanese castle history at Hiroshima Castle (reconstructed after the war), which houses an informative museum on samurai culture and offers panoramic views of the city from its top floor.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge
- •For the best Miyajima experience, check the tide timetable. Visit at high tide to see the torii gate 'float' and at low tide to walk out to its base on the sand.
- •The Hiroshima Electric Railway (Hiroden) tram is the most charming way to get around. A one-day pass (¥700) is excellent value and includes the tram to Miyajimaguchi ferry port.
- •When ordering okonomiyaki, specify 'Hiroshima-yaki' or 'Hiroshima-style' to get the local version with layers and noodles. 'Osaka-style' is a different, mixed-together pancake.
- •Visit the Peace Memorial Museum early in the morning to avoid the largest crowds, especially from school groups and tour buses.
- •At Miyajima, try the local specialty 'momiji manju' (maple leaf-shaped cakes) fresh and warm from the grills along Omotesando Street, often filled with custard or red bean.
- •For a unique souvenir, look for 'Orizuru' (folded paper cranes) or artisanal goods made from 'Hiroshima glass' (often with bubbles or imperfections symbolizing rebirth).
- •Take the Hijiyama Skywalk (an escalator through the hillside) for a unique and free way to travel between the Hijiyama area and downtown.
- •If visiting in August, be prepared for the Peace Memorial Ceremony on August 6th. The city is very crowded but it's a powerful time to witness Hiroshima's message firsthand.
- •Many restaurants, especially okonomiyaki shops, close relatively early (around 9 or 10 PM). Plan dinner accordingly.
- •For a quick, cheap, and delicious lunch, look for a 'teishoku-ya' (set meal restaurant) near the business districts offering lunch specials with miso soup, rice, and a main dish.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hiroshima
Is one day enough for Hiroshima?
One full day is enough to see the core Peace Memorial sites and take a trip to Miyajima Island, but it will be rushed. To fully absorb the history, enjoy the city's food, and explore Miyajima comfortably, plan for at least two days.
How do I get from Hiroshima Station to Miyajima?
Take the JR Sanyo Line from Hiroshima Station to Miyajimaguchi Station (25 mins, covered by JR Pass). From there, it's a 2-minute walk to the ferry pier. Alternatively, take the more scenic Hiroden Tram Line 2 directly from the city center to the ferry terminal (about 45 mins total).
Is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum appropriate for children?
The museum contains graphic and emotionally intense exhibits about the atomic bombing. Parents should use discretion. The main hall and some areas are less intense, but the personal effects and photographs can be very disturbing for younger children.
What is the best way to get around Hiroshima city?
The Hiroshima Electric Railway (Hiroden) tram system is the best way. It's charming, covers all major areas, and is easy to use. Purchase a one-day or two-day Hiroshima Visit Tourist Pass for unlimited rides, which also includes the ferry to Miyajima.
When is oyster season in Hiroshima?
The prime oyster season in Hiroshima is from October through March, with the peak being in the winter months. You'll find them served grilled, fried (kaki fry), in hot pots, and raw at restaurants and markets during this time.
Do I need to book accommodation in advance?
Yes, especially during peak seasons (cherry blossom in spring and autumn foliage). Hiroshima is a major tourist destination and hotels, particularly near the station and Peace Park, can fill up. Booking a few weeks to months in advance is recommended.
Is English widely spoken in Hiroshima?
English is not as widely spoken as in Tokyo, but you'll find it at major tourist sites, hotels, and some restaurants. Signs in transport hubs and on trams are bilingual. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases is very helpful and appreciated.
Can I use the Japan Rail Pass in Hiroshima?
Yes, the JR Pass is excellent for getting to Hiroshima (via Shinkansen) and for the JR train to Miyajimaguchi and the JR Miyajima Ferry. However, it is NOT valid on the city's Hiroden trams or the non-JR Miyajima ferry, so you'll need a separate pass or pay for those.
