1. Must-Visit Landmarks: History & Hope

• Peace Memorial Park & Museum: Allow at least 3 hours for this profound experience. The Atomic Bomb Dome stands as a powerful symbol of resilience.
• Hiroshima Orizuru Tower: Located right next to the Dome, this tower offers an open-air observation deck with incredible city views. You can also fold paper cranes and drop them into the “Orizuru Wall.”
• Miyajima Island: Take a short ferry ride to see the famous “Floating” Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine. In 2026, the island remains a top spot for seasonal views, especially during the Miyajima Oyster Festival in February.

2. Dining: The Soul Food of Hiroshima

• Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki: Unlike the Osaka version, Hiroshima layers its ingredients (noodles, cabbage, pork). Visit Okonomimura (Okonomiyaki Village)—a building with over 20 stalls—or Nagata-ya near the Peace Park.
• Fresh Oysters: Hiroshima produces most of Japan’s oysters. Try them grilled at Yakigaki no Hayashi on Miyajima Island.
• Momiji Manju: These maple-leaf-shaped cakes filled with red bean or custard are the quintessential local snack.

4. Accommodation: Where to Stay

• Central Hotels: Booking a Hotel near Hiroshima Station or Hondori is most convenient for transport. The Rihga Royal Hotel offers great views of the castle, while the Sheraton Grand is perfect for those arriving by Shinkansen. Use Agoda to find 2026 early-bird deals.

• Authentic Airbnbs: For a unique stay, look for an Airbnb in a renovated apartment near the Peace Park or a traditional Ryokan-style Airbnb on Miyajima Island for a peaceful overnight experience.

5. Transportation: Getting There & Around

[yout link=”https://youtu.be/pxxAeLZ2Q7E”]

• From Korea: The fastest way is a direct flight from Incheon (ICN) or Cheongju (CJJ) to Hiroshima Airport (HIJ). Limousine buses connect the airport to the city center in about 50 minutes.
• The “Moving Museum”: Hiroshima is famous for its Hiroden streetcars. They are a cheap and nostalgic way to see the city. Use your digital ICOCA or Suica for easy boarding.
