Hiroshima Guide

Hiroshima is found at the center of the Chugoku region on Japan's main island, Honshu Island. The city was largely destroyed by the infamous atomic bombing in 1945 during World War II. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park honors this event and its victims, and on its grounds you can find the Genbaku Dome, part of a structure that survived the explosion. Most people think of the atomic bomb when they think of Hiroshima, but the city has moved on since that tragic event. With wide streets and a laid-back atmosphere, the vibrant city contains a number of attractive entertainment options to visitors from all over the world. It has a professional symphony orchestra, art museums, parks, and international festivals. With In no-shima Island and 150 other islands in the nearby Seto Inland Sea, Hiroshima is in a great location to enjoy some of Japan's finest attractions.
