🕊️ Why Visit Hiroshima?
Hiroshima is a city that turned unspeakable tragedy into a powerful message of peace. Today, it's one of Japan's most vibrant, forward-looking cities — home to the deeply moving Peace Memorial Park, the stunning Miyajima Island (one of Japan's "three most scenic views"), and the best okonomiyaki you'll ever eat.
Despite its heavy history, Hiroshima is surprisingly uplifting. The city's rebuilt streets are wide, clean, and lined with trees. Its people are warm and welcoming, and there's a palpable sense of resilience and hope. Whether you visit as a day trip or stay overnight, Hiroshima will be one of the most memorable stops on your Japan trip.
