Hiroshima Essentials

Hiroshima balances the spiritual heritage of Itsukushima Shrine with the sobering history of the Peace Memorial City. This selection spans the scenic Miyajima island, featuring the 535-meter Mt. Misen and the 13th-century Daiganji Temple, to the modern Mazda Stadium. Cultural landmarks include the traditional landscape of Sankei-en Garden near the airport, the 16-kilometer Sandan-kyō ravine, and the Ikuo Hirayama Museum of Art, which honors the renowned Nihonga painter in his birthplace of Setoda.
