Hiroshima, a bustling city with a tragic past. On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb wreaked unimaginable havoc within a 2km radius, reshaping the city. Yet, Hiroshima stands today as an enduring testament to resilience, beckoning with diverse attractions. Are you visiting Hiroshima? make sure you visit these places that I am visiting at the moment. 1. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park 🌸 A sanctuary of hope, the park is a poignant reminder of war’s horrors. There are several monuments here, most notable being the cenotaph, holding the names of over 220,000 known victims. Next to the Peace Park stands the UNESCO World Heritage site - A-BOMB dome, one of the very few bomb sites that survived the nuclear blast. 2. Hiroshima Castle 🏰 Standing in the heart of the city, this castle, was built on a plain not mountaintop in 1589. Despite being destroyed in 1945 during the nuclear attack, it was meticulously rebuilt using the original methods and materials. 3. Shukkeien Garden 🍃 Adjacent to Hiroshima Castle, Shukkeien Garden is a masterpiece of miniature landscapes — a garden mirroring valleys, mountains, and forests, as if plucked from a Murakami novel. 4. Miyajima Island ⛩️ A sacred island, Just a short boat ride away from Hiroshima, is a sacred gem. Itsukushima Shrine, seemingly floating during high tide, and the iconic Giant Tori Gate make it a must-visit. Considered one of Japan’s best three views. 5. Okonomiyaki 🥢 No journey is complete without savouring Hiroshima’s soul food—Okonomiyaki. A lovechild of pancake and pizza, cooked to perfection on a sizzling hot plate. So, these are your must-visit places in Hiroshima. Hope it helps in planning your trip to Japan. #HiroshimaUnveiled #ExploreJapan #TravelEssentials #JapanUntold #HiroshimaUnveiled #ExploreJapan #TravelEssentials #JapanUntold #visithiroshima #JapanMagic #ATWS2023 #EnjoyMyJapan #VisitJapanJP #UnGaijinAuJapon #ExploringJapan #visitjpn #Japan #Japon #Nihon #日本 #DiscoverJapan #hiroshima #hiroshimamonamour #hiroshimapeacememorial #hiroshimapeacememorialpark #abombdome #genbakudome #広島 #原爆ドーム #広島県

Steal my 2 week Japan itinerary here👇🏼 ✈️ We flew into Tokyo and mainly traveled by train all the way to Hiroshima. From Hiroshima we trained to Fukuoka, Japan and caught a flight to South Korea 🇰🇷 to continue our trip onwards. 🇯🇵 4 nights in Tokyo There is so much to do in Tokyo, you could easily stay longer (we actually spent 6 nights but had lots of rainy days in March so we took a slower pace). THINGS TO DO: Tsukiji Outer Market, teamLab Planets, Sensō-ji, Sumida Park, Hie Shrine, Chidorigafuchi Park, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Meiji Jingu, Yoyogi Park, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya sky, Shibuya crossing. If you have more time, add a day trip to see the Hitachi Seaside Park. [train to Fuji] 🇯🇵 2 nights in Kawaguchiko (Mt Fuji) With Fuji being visible less than 50% of the year (really depends on the time of year you visit), I highly recommend spending more than just a day trip here. THINGS TO DO: Lake Kawaguchiko, Chureito Pagoda, Shimoyoshida Honcho Street, Oishi Park, Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, Oshino Hakkai. [train back to Tokyo, then to Kyoto] 🇯🇵 4 nights in Kyoto + day trip to Nara Kyoto is like stepping back in time in Japan. It’s an absolute gem that you won’t want to miss! THINGS TO DO: Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, Yasaka Pagoda, Higashiyama Ward, Chion-in Temple, Nishiki Market. [train to Osaka] 🇯🇵 3 nights in Osaka Welcome to foodie heaven that is Osaka. Make sure to come hungry and stay a while for the food! THINGS TO DO: Osaka Castle, Umeda Sky Building, Dotonbori, Tsūtenkaku, Shitenno-ji. [train to Hiroshima] 🇯🇵 1 night in Hiroshima + day trip to Miyajima Hiroshima was a special place to visit due to the horrific history and subsequent tenacity of its people. I know Hiroshima is usually left off itineraries due to its distance, but if you can make it work, it’s truly a special stop. THINGS TO DO: Peace Memorial Park - Hiroshima, Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Castle, Miyajima Are you planning your trip to Japan yet?
