Holidays To Hiroshima

Hiroshima is most famous for one moment in history, when on the 6th August 1945 Hiroshima became the first target of an atomic bomb that destroyed the city. Today Hiroshima has rebuilt itself as one of Japan’s most laid-back, vibrant cities that is teeming with friendly, welcoming people, great food, and a thriving art scene. With its tall skyscrapers, luscious parks, museums, and winding alleys filled with shops, there is plenty of fascinating architecture, culture, history and nature during your Hiroshima holidays. Visit Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum to learn of this city’s moving message of peace and take a moment to appreciate the UNESCO World Heritage site of Genbaku Dome, the only structure that was left standing back in 1945. For epic views of the city, head to Hiroshima Castle, followed by a walk-through Shukkeien Garden, and enjoy some carefully-prepared matcha tea in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Hiroshima: city of peace

Just 45 minutes by boat from the city of Hiroshima lies the stunning island of Miyajima, known as one of the top three most scenic spots in Japan. Miyajima, which translates to shrine island, is a great little getaway with its hiking trails, beaches and best of all, over one thousand friendly rabbits that will confidently approach you, nibbling anything in sight. Home to Japan’s most famous floating Torji Gate, check out this traditional piece of architecture, then take the cable car up to the peak of Mount Misen to enjoy the panoramic views. Complete your day trip by watching the sunset through the Itsukushima Shrine. Why not twin your visit to Hiroshima with the hustle and bustle of Tokyo? Or why not explore the ancient city of Kyoto?
