What travelers think of our Japan experiences
What you’ll do
With your local insider as a GPS, guidebook, and Google, you’ll discover more than just Hiroshima’s tragic World War II history. Experience its rich ancient culture and the modern Hiroshima of today: a vibrant hub of friendly locals, pristine parks, tightly-packed sake bars, and plenty of okonomiyaki (savory pancake) restaurants serving Hiroshima’s “soul food”. You could visit the striking symbol of the city, the Atomic Bomb Dome, stroll down the soft sand of the Bayside Beach or explore ancient shrines and temples – from hydrangea-lined Jinguji-temple to Itsukushima. On Miyajima Island, see nature at its most impressive: lush forests, turquoise ocean, and the iconic “floating” torii gate: a shrine that’s partially submerged at high tide.
