Hiroshima is a city in Japan that has risen from the ashes of tragedy to become a beacon of peace and reconciliation. With us, you'll experience the essence of the city, where the past intertwines with the present in a symbol of resilience and hope.
In the iconic Peace Memorial Park, you'll discover a poignant tribute to the victims of the atomic bombing of 1945. Here, you can stand in awe before the striking Atomic Bomb Dome, a haunting reminder of the city's darkest hour, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
But Hiroshima is more than its past. While here, you can also delight in the city's vibrant culture, from its vibrant streets to its serene gardens. Savour the delicate flavours of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, a culinary delight beloved by locals and visitors alike.
