What you’ll do
Foodies are in for a treat with the lively food culture in Hiroshima! Follow your local guide downtown as you discover hidden gems and traditional dishes. From sampling delicious oysters, which are produced abundantly here, to tucking into a forkful of national identity with ‘Hiroshima Okonomiyaki’ - much like the famed Japanese pancake dish but this version also contains yakisoba noodles and is fried in mouth-watering layers. Explore onwards to a standing bar where you can tick off local delicacies and craft beer from your list. Post this refueling, there’ll be time to wander through the beautiful Shukkeien Japanese gardens to catch a traditional tea ceremony and nibble away at the maple-leaf shaped cakes ‘Momiji manjū’ as your dessert.
