Our tips for Hiroshima

  • You have got to try it: You can't come to Hiroshima and not try the okonomiyaki, a type of pancake. Trust us, it's delicious. Another dish to try is tsukemen, but be prepared; it's spicy. 
  • Be at peace: After visiting the museum dedicated to the atomic bomb and walking around the peace park, it's worth taking a moment to digest everything you have seen and the atmosphere surrounding the area. 
  • Where you can ride the tram: The tram is the easiest and most practical way of getting around, oh, and it is a lot of fun too! 

Good to know

The spring months are the best time to visit. It's when the weather is temperate, and there's every chance you'll get to see the Sakura (cherry blossoms).
