Hiroshima
Hiroshima is one of the most important cities in the world — the site of the first atomic bombing in 1945, now transformed into a living symbol of peace, resilience, and international cooperation. The Peace Memorial Park and Museum are profoundly moving; the rebuilt city is warm, walkable, and excellent for food; and the sacred island of Miyajima with its floating torii gate is 25 minutes by ferry.

- ✓Visit the Peace Museum before the park — the context makes the outdoor monuments far more powerful
- ✓Go to Miyajima at high tide when the torii gate appears to float on the sea
- ✓The local tram (streetcar) covers the whole city cheaply
- ✓Hiroshima okonomiyaki is different from Osaka-style — layers rather than mixed
- ✓Spend at least 2 nights — rushing Hiroshima is a mistake
