Hiroshima is a lively city located in the Chugoku region, with a population of over one million residents. The city offers a busy downtown area, including Hondori, a pedestrian-only street filled with shops and restaurants. Aioi Street, a main road for cars and trams, is located nearby. Along Aioi Street, several large department stores are sure to attract shopping enthusiasts.

Apart from its urban life, Hiroshima is an ideal destination for nature lovers. Visitors can explore the dense forests, soak in natural hot springs, and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, water sports, and skiing. For a more tranquil experience, the peaceful towns of Onomichi and Tomonoura are worth a visit. Another must-see attraction is Itsukushima Shrine, a floating shrine with a red gate located in the middle of the sea on Miyajima Island. The Atomic Bomb Dome, a World Heritage Site in Hiroshima, and the surrounding Peace Memorial Park serve as monuments to peace. Hiroshima is also famous for its local cuisine, including delicious okonomiyaki, anago or sea eel, and various other dishes. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this beautiful city.
