2025 Hiroshima Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

🌺🌺 Remember the sweet peas Chihiro carried on the way out with her parents in the Studio Ghibli film *Spirited Away*? Warm and natural. When Chihiro cried sadly, Haku crouched in a field full of azaleas in the Japanese countryside to comfort her. These everyday flowers in Japan bring people closer to nature and allow them to heal in nature.🌺🌺 🌈🌈🌈🌈Great places to explore Japanese flowers 📍Ibaraki Prefecture/Hitachi Seaside Park—Nemophila Approximately 4.2 hectares of Miharashi Hill is covered with about 5.3 million delicate blue nemophila flowers, which look even more brilliant against the azure sky. Strolling through it is like walking on a vibrant blue carpet. 📍Yamanashi Prefecture/Fuji Motosuko Resort—Shibazakura Held annually from mid-April to late May, the "Fuji Shibazakura Festival" is the largest shibazakura spectacle in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The bright shibazakura "carpet" frames the snow-capped Mount Fuji, providing a truly moving experience. 📍Hiroshima Prefecture/Senkoji Park—Wisteria Senkoji Park's cherry blossoms are selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Japan," but the wisteria here is also a breathtaking sight. The wisteria hangs like a purple waterfall, swaying in the wind. 📍Saga Prefecture/Daikozenji Temple—Azaleas Daikozenji Temple, home to numerous cultural heritage sites, is also known as the "Azalea Temple" for its colorful azalea blossoms. About 50,000 azaleas bloom from mid-April to early May, filling visitors with joy and wonder. 📍Akita Prefecture/Unchoji Temple—Hydrangeas Ranked first on the list of Japanese scenic spots as a "must-see destination in a lifetime."

When you come to this Hiroshima shrine, you can see many locals and foreigners contributing money to pray for peace specifically.

Don't Miss •The Peace Park, filled with memorials to those who died in the 1945 atomic bombing, is a powerful testament to the devastation that war has wrought on the city and humanity. You'll visit the newly renovated Peace Memorial Museum and the surrounding parks and memorials, all meticulously designed to serve as both a memorial and an informational space for visitors. •The Atomic Bomb Dome, a somber monument to the nuclear legacy •Located inside the Kousanji temple complex, the Hill of Hope was created by sculptor Itto Kuetani. This area is filled with sculptures and monuments that will leave you in awe. The sculpture pictured above is called the Tower of Hope. The Mediterranean vibe of this marble sculpture garden is unusual in Japan. However, when you put it in the Seto Inland Sea, it becomes a masterpiece. •Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki •A trip to nearby Miyajima Island to see the deer and the much-photographed floating shrine. One of the must-sees in Japan is the shrine gate that stands out on the water.

Tomonoura is a port town at the southern end of Fukuyama City, Hiroshima, Japan. This place is a picture-perfect port city of literature and history, Tomonoura is a fascinating destination in Hiroshima Prefecture. While visiting the place I noticed that the place is very similar with one of the place I saw in the movie, and as I searched, Tomonoura was featured in the Marvel film ‘Wolverine'. The sea-facing section of town is breathtaking, with small boats bobbing up and down in the docks. The old town center has fairly narrow traditional streets, that are so well kept they are reminiscent of times long passed. It is a truly relaxing little town, with a wide variety of shrines and temples, and very friendly locals. #givethanks #givethanks

It's a tourist area famous for its forests, old shrines and temples, and wild deer⛩️ A large area that makes up about 14 percent of the island's total area is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site✨️ The downtown area, centered on the road from the port to Itsukushima Shrine, is a great place to go for a bite to eat!

There are also many shops selling oysters, a Hiroshima specialty, so I got full quickly while eating the ones that caught my eye😂 #Spring0yentrip #Hiroshima #Hiroshimatourism #Miyajima #Miyajimatourism #Miyajimagourmet

Okunoshima In recent years, it has become a famous tourist destination known as "Rabbit Island" due to the large number of wild rabbits.🐇🐰 However, this was originally a place where the former Japanese military conducted poison gas experiments, and it is also a "poison gas island" where ruins and documents remain...! To get to the island, you need to take a 15-minute ferry or boat ride. Wherever you go, there are rabbits everywhere, and they approach you without any caution, as if they think that you are feeding them.✨️ Some of them even let you pet them without any regard for food, and I thought it was a wonderful island where a relationship of trust has been formed with humans.🙌 There were some exhibits of historical materials that were very shocking, so if you are not good with them, please be careful.⚠️ #Spring0yenTrip #Hiroshima #HiroshimaTourism #Okunoshima #Rabbit

#Spring0yenTrip The JR Geibi Line stretches 159.1km from Hiroshima Station to Bitchu-Kamishiro Station in the north of Okayama Prefecture. While it is used by many people for commuting to work or school in the outskirts of Hiroshima, it is also a famous local line for train enthusiasts, with some sections having the lowest usage in Japan in some years. Between Hiroshima and Miyoshi, diesel railcars from the days of the national railway are in use, with about one train per hour. With seasonal scenery unfolding from the train windows, it is used as a means of transportation between Hiroshima and the north of the prefecture, but in recent years the number of passengers has dropped significantly. There are only about five people on board trains with two or three cars at any given time. I wish there were more people on the line!!! (From a resident along the line)
