Best Hiroshima Tours in June

Known around the world for its tragic history and powerful message of peace, Hiroshima is today a vibrant and welcoming city that honors its past while looking toward the future. On August 6, 1945, it became the first city targeted by an atomic bomb, and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park now stands as a moving tribute to the victims. Within the park, visitors can explore the Peace Memorial Museum and see the haunting remains of the Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But Hiroshima is more than its history - it’s also home to cultural landmarks like Hiroshima Castle and Shukkeien Garden, and serves as the gateway to the nearby island of Miyajima, famous for the floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine. The city is also known for its regional specialty, okonomiyaki, a savory pancake layered with cabbage, noodles, and toppings. Easy to reach by bullet train from Osaka or Kyoto, Hiroshima is a deeply meaningful and surprisingly uplifting stop on any Japan itinerary.
