Most people visit Hiroshima to learn about the atomic bomb that was dropped on the city by American forces in 1945 at the end of World War II. The memorial to the victims, centered around a bombed-out dome — the only structure that survived the blast — is sobering.

Despite this tragic moment in its history, Hiroshima today is a beautiful place. I really enjoyed my time exploring it, as there’s a lot to do here. From bars to museums to festivals to unique regional food, there’s a lot to fill a few days here. (That’s about all you need unless you really love the place!)

This travel guide to Hiroshima will help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your visit!
