Hiroshima Vacation Guide

Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture and the largest city of the Chugoku Region, the westernmost region on Japan's main island of Honshu. It is home to about one million people.

On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was chosen by US armed forces as the first ever target of an atomic bomb employed over a populated area. As a result, 200,000 civilians lost their lives, and Hiroshima became a city vehemently engaged in the promotion of peace.

Hiroshima's Peace Park including the memorial museum, and the island of Miyajima - translated: shrine island, located 40 minutes from the city center by train and ferry, are among Japan's most interesting tourist attractions and look out for the wild deer.

Seeing as Osaka's trains run on a Manhattan schedule (as opposed to a Tokyo schedule), I got a much later start in Hiroshima than I had intended.  Much later.  (It also had something to do with the post office not being where it was marked on my map, and literally wandering around for nea…
