But the city is more than its past &#8211; it&#8217;s a welcoming place with culture and charm, home to beautiful parks, lively shopping streets, and delicious local dishes like okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) and fried oysters.<\/p>\n<p>As a place of healing, beauty, and vibrant culture, Hiroshima holds a special place in my heart. During my visit in winter, one of my standout experiences was a ceremony held around the New Year in Japanese Shinto shrines. Called the jouka (the holy fire), it\u2019s a ritual burning of holy items, and I witnessed big crates filled with these items at the famous Itsukushima shrine.<\/p>\n<p>Planning a trip? Here are my recommendations on what to do in Hiroshima, from must-see attractions to food you can\u2019t miss and hidden gems I stumbled upon. Tip: if you\u2019re travelling during the bustling New Year period, check the opening hours of places and schedules of public transportation, as they may be limited.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">What to do in Hiroshima<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-hiroshima\/#how-to-get-to-hiroshima\" title=\"How to get there\">How to get there<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-hiroshima\/#what-to-do-in-hiroshima\" title=\"Things to do\">Things to do<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-hiroshima\/#1-hiroshima-peace-memorial-park\" title=\"1.

My flight was under two hours, so it\u2019s a great way to save time if you\u2019re in a hurry. Tip: book your departing flight from Haneda Airport, as it\u2019s the closest to central Tokyo. From Hiroshima Airport, it\u2019s easy to catch a bus or take a quick taxi ride to the city centre. If you\u2019re on a budget, hopping on an overnight bus is another option, but the journey will take about eight hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-do-in-hiroshima\"><\/span>What to do in Hiroshima<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-hiroshima-peace-memorial-park\"><\/span>1.

As I walked through the serene park, I couldn\u2019t help but reflect on the tragic events of the atomic bombing that happened on 6 August 1945, and the resilience of the city and its people.<\/p>\n<p>Before the bomb, this area was the political and commercial heart of the city. The park is now a peaceful space dedicated to the memory of those who perished.

Designed by renowned architect Tange Kenzo, it\u2019s dedicated to preserving the history of the atomic bombing and educating visitors about its devastating impact.<\/p>\n<p>Walking through the first section was emotional as the exhibit features personal stories of survivors, remnants of destroyed buildings, and items like clothing and school books that belonged to those who perished. The photographs of the aftermath were heart-wrenching but also a testament to the strength of Hiroshima\u2019s people.<\/p>\n<p>The second section focuses on Hiroshima\u2019s ongoing efforts to promote peace and disarmament, offering an uplifting reminder of the city\u2019s global peace advocacy. I highly recommend taking your time here to immerse yourself in reflection.<\/p>\n<p>In August, during the anniversary of the bombing, an annual ceremony takes place at the park featuring speeches and a moment of silence at 8.15am &#8211; the precise moment of detonation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-atomic-bomb-dome\"><\/span>3.

I recommend you visit the observation deck on the top floor to enjoy the breeze while you take in the panoramic view. On a clear day, you can see Mount Misen, Miyajima\u2019s highest peak.<\/p>\n<p>During my visit in winter, they set up cosy dome tents (you&#8217;re charged per hour) where you can enjoy food and drinks from the cafe. Oh, and don\u2019t forget to head to the 12th floor to purchase origami paper and fold orizuru (paper cranes) at Orizuru Square. These are considered a symbol of peace and hope in Hiroshima. You can keep them as a souvenir or drop them into the glass-panelled Orizuru wall. P.S. when descending the building, hop on the slide for a fun ride!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-miyajima-island-itsukushima-shrine\"><\/span>5.

The famous floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine is breathtaking, especially at high tide when it looks like it\u2019s floating on water. Itsukushima Shrine is the only shrine and torii gate in Japan built where the tide swells beneath it and retreats into the distance during certain periods of the day. Tip: take note of the tide&#8217;s timing to plan your visit well.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a few hours walking around the island, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and hiking up Mount Misen for stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea. Don\u2019t miss the wild deer that roam freely around the island &#8211; they\u2019re adorable but a bit cheeky!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-hiroshima-castle\"><\/span>6.

The castle tower and some buildings remained after the Meiji period, but all of them were destroyed by the atomic bomb during WWII.<\/p>\n<p>I loved walking through the castle grounds and gazing at the reconstruction of the castle, which houses a museum detailing its history.

It\u2019s a savoury pancake made with cabbage, noodles, and your choice of meat or seafood, all grilled together on a hotplate in front of you. I recommend Okonomimura, a popular and lively food hall housing several small okonomiyaki shops, each with a unique twist on the dish.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a seafood lover, Hiroshima oysters (raw or fried) are a must-try. These plump, juicy oysters are known for their delicate flavour and tender texture. Don\u2019t leave without trying the fried version, which is an iconic Hiroshima special: crispy on the outside and tender inside. I had mine at Kakiya and Ekohiiki, both local spots that ended up being highlights of my culinary journey here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_319357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-319357\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-319357 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/hiroshima-food-fried-oysters-900x643.png\" alt=\"hiroshima food | fried oysters\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/hiroshima-food-fried-oysters-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/hiroshima-food-fried-oysters-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/hiroshima-food-fried-oysters.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-319357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hiroshima\u2019s speciality fried oyster dish.

From solemn reminders of the past at the Peace Memorial Park and Museum to the tranquil beauty of Miyajima Island, every corner tells a story of strength, hope and renewal.
