Hiroshima

Hiroshima (広島) is the main city of the Chugoku region and is home to 1.2 million inhabitants. The city sadly became famous after being hit by the first atomic bomb in human history, on August 6, 1945. The explosion destroyed much of Hiroshima, which was however quickly rebuilt by the tenacious Japanese people, as well as the ancient feudal castle and the Shukkeien Garden. Today, in the epicenter of the explosion, there is the great Peace Park, a place dedicated to memory and which marks the thoughts of all those who go to visit it.

Quick answers about Hiroshima

Is Hiroshima worth visiting?

Yes, Hiroshima is worth a visit for any tourist traveling to Japan. The area of the Peace Park, with its museum of memory and various commemorative monuments, is a unique place in the world. It is worth visiting to remember the atrocities of war and learn about the devastating impact of an atomic bomb. The nearby island of Miyajima is one of the most fascinating places in Japan, between history, religion and nature. The rest of Hiroshima city is not a must see, so it depends on the time available.

If you are planning a trip to Japan and you want to do something more than just visiting famous places and monuments, we suggest you to use Rakuten Travel Experiences.

How to use Rakuten Travel Experiences

Rakuten Travel is a very useful website to enrich your travel experience, especially if you are going solo or it's your first time in Japan.

Thanks to Rakuten Travel you can find a lot of interesting and sometimes unique guided tours and activities all over Japan (and not only in Japan), that you would otherwise never be able to enjoy.
But there's more: on Rakuten Travel you can also buy tickets for several famous attractions, events, transportation and other useful services for tourists. Last but not least, you can reserve a table in hundreds of restaurants.
