Description
Hiroshima blends history and beauty with the Peace Park, A-Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Castle, and a scenic ferry to Miyajima’s Floating Torii Gate and lively Omotesando Street.
Hiroshima offers a powerful blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The Peace Memorial Park & Museum and the Genbaku Dome stand as emotional reminders of the city’s past, honoring the victims of the atomic bomb while promoting a message of peace. Nearby, the elegant Hiroshima Castle—with its samurai history and scenic grounds—adds a glimpse of the city’s heritage before the war. A scenic Miyajima ferry ride takes you across calm waters to the sacred island of Miyajima, home to the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine and its world-famous Floating Torii Gate that appears to rise from the sea. The island’s lively Omotesando Shopping Street completes the experience with local snacks, oysters, and charming souvenirs, making the entire journey a rich mix of reflection, culture, and exploration.
