2 Days in Hiroshima Japan 2025 – What to do in Hiroshima Japan

Hiroshima. Imagine arriving here for the first time. From riverside streets and local flavors to cozy coffee corners and the gateway to Miaima Island, one of Japan’s three most scenic sites. Let me show you how to travel Hiroshima. Our journey begins in the heart of Hiroshima. After the delicious coffee, We wandered into Shukian Garden. A short walk brought us to Hiroshima Toshugu Shrine. and from there a hike up to the piece pagoda. Back down in the city, we explored Hiroshima Castle. A reconstruction, but still a proud reminder of the city’s past. Thank you. By late afternoon, we arrived at Peace Memorial Park. Before sunset, we made our way to Hiroshima Orizuru Tower. This video isn’t sponsored, but if you want to support my work, a quick thumbs up helps more than you think. We returned to the park for one last walk past the flame of peace still burning. For dinner, we went to Okonomimura, home to some of the best okonomiyaki Hiroshima has to offer. We start the day with a river cruise, a 45minute ride, leaving right from the peace memorial area and gliding down toward Miaima Island. Arriving at the island, we were greeted by deers wandering freely through the island. From the shore, the view opens to one of Japan’s most iconic sites, the great Atouri Gate of Itsukushima Shrine, standing tall in the shallow waters. A short walk inland brought us to Daoin Temple, a peaceful complex with intricate statues, winding paths, and the soft sound of prayer wheels turning in the breeze. Heat. Heat. Oh mighty Tando Street is Miaima’s lively shopping lane filled with grilled oysters, sweet mami mangju, and local crafts. The perfect stop before leaving the island. By early afternoon, we returned to the mainland, collected our luggage, and headed toward our next destination, Takyama.

In this video, I spent 2 days exploring Hiroshima and its surroundings, from the Peace Memorial Park and Orizuru Tower to the peaceful Miyajima Island, home to the famous floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine.

I’ve been to Japan over six times, and while I used to visit the same popular spots — Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and the Fuji area — this time I wanted to see a different side of Japan. Hiroshima was the perfect place to begin that journey.

If you’re planning your trip and wondering how to spend 2 days in Hiroshima Japan, this video shows you exactly what to see, how to get around, and what makes this city so unforgettable.
