Where to stay in Hiroshima
Hiroshima is a lively, rebuilt city with a famous food scene, and its Peace Memorial Park and museum are essential, sobering visits. Most travelers also spend time on Miyajima, an island 45 minutes away whose vermilion shrine and torii gate appear to float on the sea at high tide.
Where to stay
The city has mostly modern business hotels. For something special, spend the night on Miyajima: once the day-trippers leave, the island's lanes, deer and lantern-lit shrine are beautifully quiet.
Good to know
Check the tide tables to see the torii at both high and low tide. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, layered with noodles, is the local dish.
