Hiroshima is one of the most profoundly moving destinations in Japan — a city that has transformed from tragedy into a global symbol of peace, resilience, and hope. The Peace Memorial Park and Museum are essential experiences for any thoughtful traveler. Just a short ferry ride away lies the sacred island of Miyajima, one of Japan’s ‘Three Views,’ where the famous vermilion torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine appears to float above the sea at high tide. The island is also home to friendly wild deer, forested mountain
trails, and exceptional street snacks.
