Hiroshima is the City that the US dropped an Atomic Bomb on during WW2 in 1945 so it is a popular stop on a trip around Japan. After taking the Shinkansen / Bullet Train from Osaka to Hiroshima, I spent the afternoon in Hiroshima visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum. Although it was very sad it was also very interesting and the Peace Park is a lovely area to walk around.
The following day I went on the popular day trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima Island and I had such a great day. I have a JR Pass so the train from Hiroshima down to the coast to Miyajima Station is included and there’s a JR boat over to the island included in the pass meaning I didn’t have to spend any money on transport.
Miyajima Island is most famous for the Great Torii Gate that sits in the water and looks like it’s floating when it’s high tide. It also has deer roaming the streets which are lovely to see. I wandered around and headed to some temples and generally really enjoyed Miyajima as a Japan Day Trip!
