Although Hiroshima has been known in the world as one of the atomic bombing sites in Japan during the end of World War II, the city is now one of the nation’s most visited destinations, attracting local and foreign tourists alike. Most of the visitors go to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park where the Atomic Dome (Genbaku Dome) is located. The dome, which is the only remaining structure near the bombing’s ground zero, is the key landmark of the park.
Aside from the dome, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is also a notable tourist destination within the park. Other attractions in Hiroshima are the shrines and temples, Hiroshima Castle, and the shopping districts of Kamiyacho and Hatchobori. The city has always been the center of commerce even before the two world wars, thanks to the establishment of the harbor/port, making it an important port city. Currently, automobiles and bar cuisines (okonomiyaki) are two of the major contributors to the city’s income. It’s also the preferred venue for international conventions, conferences, and seminars on social issues, especially on peace.
Looking for a place to stay, it’s best to stay near the Hiroshima Station, where numerous hotels are clustered around it. Staying near the station will also make it easier for you to travel in the city and to other attractions outside the city. From Hiroshima Station, you can reach Kamiyacho and Hatchobori and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park via tram in just a few minutes.
Although many developments have been made to accommodate the growing number of tourists, the city doesn’t get too crowded, still giving off a calm and relaxed vibe. Accommodation options abound, so whether you are on a budget or willing to dig deeper into your pocket, you will find a place that meets your needs and budget.
