Hiroshima 広島

Cosmopolitan city with tragic past

Hiroshima

Hiroshima needs little introduction - when the first atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, it obliterated nearly everything within a 2km radius in Western Honshū’s main city.

The Peace Memorial Park (Heiwa Kinen Kōen), with its world heritage-listed A-bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum, is a must-visit.

Don’t miss the Paper Cranes and Children's Peace Monument - the story about why 10 million cranes are sent from around Japan and the world each year is both sobering and heart-warming.

Hiroshima’s bustling downtown area includes the popular pedestrian arcade, Hon-dori.
