  • Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park is a large park in the city, covering an area of about 120,000 square meters. The trees and lawns within the expansive grounds serve as a place of relaxation for citizens, providing a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. During World War II, the location of the current Peace Park was the political and commercial center of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the target for the atomic bomb.
  • The Atomic Bomb Dome is one of Hiroshima's most iconic landmarks, serving as a powerful symbol of peace and resilience. Remarkably, despite being directly beneath the explosion's epicenter, the structure of the Industrial Promotion Hall did not collapse. Instead, the ruins and skeletal dome were preserved as a poignant monument to the destructive power of nuclear weapons. The Atomic Bomb Dome is not merely a historical site; it stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a call to action for peace. When visiting, take a moment to reflect on the past and consider the importance of striving for a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons.
  • Hiroshima Castle, built during the Warring States period, stands as a testament to Japan's traditional architectural prowess, captivating visitors with its majestic construction and distinctive design. The beautiful gardens and parks surrounding the castle offer ideal settings to enjoy the changing seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. Moreover, Hiroshima Castle symbolizes both the devastation caused by the Hiroshima atomic bombing and the subsequent desire for peace. For Japanese people, it holds significance as a symbol of peace and a place where aspirations for world peace are cherished.
  • Shukkeien, located in Hiroshima, is a magnificent fusion of traditional Japanese garden beauty and intricacy. It warmly welcomes visitors with its serene ambiance and offers stunning seasonal landscapes throughout the year. With tranquil ponds, flowing water, picturesque bridges, and lush greenery, Shukkeien creates a delightful space that beckons visitors to relax and unwind. Renowned as a destination visited by dignitaries during the Hiroshima G7 Summit, it holds international recognition. For foreign visitors exploring Hiroshima, Shukkeien promises an unforgettable experience of Japan's exquisite nature and culture, leaving lasting memories in their hearts.
  • Itsukushima Shrine Torii
    Itsukushima Shrine, known as the "Floating Torii Gate," is a captivating symbol of Japan's history and beauty. Nestled in the serene sea, the shrine reveals a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. Its iconic torii gate, standing tall during low tide, creates a spiritual ambiance. Visitors are enchanted by the shrine's cultural significance and the breathtaking scenery, making it a must-see destination that embodies the essence of Japan's rich heritage.
  • Miyajima's Omotesando Shopping Street exudes charm with its array of traditional shops. Stroll through this bustling promenade to discover a delightful blend of local crafts, souvenirs, and delectable treats. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the scenic views of the iconic torii gate and historic surroundings, creates a unique and enchanting shopping experience that captures the essence of Miyajima's cultural richness.
  • Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was constructed in 593 AD. Its allure lies in the vermilion-painted Great Torii Gate standing in the sea and the unique landscape transformed by the ebb and flow of the tide. Moreover, it is blessed with the beauty of nature throughout the seasons. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and maple leaves adorn the grounds in autumn, creating a picturesque fusion of shrine and nature. The stunning natural scenery surrounding the shrine also captivates visitors.
