Things to do in Hiroshima, Chugoku: The Best Food & Drink
A trip to Hiroshima is best kicked off with a visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which contains a museum, the remnants of buildings destroyed by the 1945 atomic bomb and monuments to the people killed by this nuclear attack. Understanding Hiroshima’s relatively recent devastation is key to fully appreciating its beauty and culture. Visit splendidly rebuilt historic sites like Hiroshima Castle and Shukkei-en Garden, and don’t miss the Itsukushima Shrine on the nearby island of Miyajima.

We had a great family experience cooking Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, and just a quick note about the timing - we booked for the 7pm-9pm slot, and got there a little after 7pm, lucky for us - our session was just us, so it was ok, but normally the 7pm session is the last one - so don't be late! And 7pm-9pm means be there at 7pm! Once we arrived we were given aprons and a quick introduction before getting to cook our dinner - you get a choice of toppings, and the class begins. It easy going and you get opportunities to take some video and photos during the class, once your done you get to eat what you made! It was really fun and the okonomiyaki tasted great too - its quite a big portion, so come hungry. Our class was in English, and the whole experience took about an hour and half, great fun for the whole family!
