Hiroshima
Home of the Atomic Bomb Dome and the National Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima is as moving as it is beautiful. A fun thing to do is ride the nostalgic street cars that have been in operation since 1912.
Miyajima
Miyajima is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Itsukushima Shrine and its world famous red Torii gate. The small island is also famous for its Oyster Okonomiaki and hundreds of docile deer.
