The famous shrine built on stilts with its torii gate set in the sea.
Reviewed By Sparkie09 - Goa, India
Was such an experience visiting this shrine in Miyajima...walking through the path and an old gate and the sight of the floating Tori gate in the sea and the temple itself on stilts...to beat the high tides.
6. Shukkei-en Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,083 reviews
This 17th-century miniature landscape garden was restored after its destruction in 1945, and contains a pond, streams, islets and bridges.
Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan
I love Hiroshima, there are always new attractions to explore. I saw Shukkei-en Garden on a map, and decided to check it out. It is not far from the main train station, so it is a must. I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. The entrance was pretty cheap, around 260 yen a person. You need at minimum an hour here as there are trails and interesting historical markers worth reading, not to mention many photo spots and places to relax and enjoy the beauty. Japan seems to have varieties of flowers that bloom at different times of the year, so anytime is a good time to visit. The pond in the center is lovely and is full of beautiful koi fish among other species and lots of adorable turtles. These gardens are a must when visiting Hiroshima.
7. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

4.5 based on 6,977 reviews
This park commemorates the explosion of the first atomic bomb, and houses the Peace Memorial Museum and monuments related to the horrific event.
Reviewed By Dan06101973 - Toowoomba, Australia
This is perhaps one of the most moving experiences we had during our Japanese holiday. The Atomic Dome, Peace Park and Museum are all captivating, with many deeply personal stories and reflections. There is an audiovisual display that gives a depiction of the bomb dropping which depicts Hiroshima both before and after the event which is extremely thought-provoking and intense. If you travel to Japan you must visit this site - you will not be disappointed.
8. Mt. Misen

Reviewed By DoctorDerm1 - Winter Springs, United States
The gondola is still not working (should be back working tomorrow), so we walked up. The posted sign said 90 minutes, but this 62 year old in good shape make it in one hour. The hike is 98% stairs, so no strollers! Bring water if you hike, though you can buy drinks at a machine by the buildings just below the top. The Lookout on top does close at 4pm, so make sure to arrive earlier since you will miss the best views if you can’t go up the Lookout.

We booked our bicycles one month in advance online and had no problems securing a reservation (this was in late November). We got decent new cross city bikes. Please check your bikes as some of the bikes can have problems with gears, seat adjustment etc. The staff at the Onomichi bike rental shop was helpful but did not speak much english. We were given some instructions to read and filled up some forms before we were off with our bikes. The bikes come with bicycle locks. Helmet rental is at a separate charge and is optional. For hassle free cycling, we arranged for our hotel in Onomichi to forward our main luggage to our hotel in Matsuyama the next day using a 3rd party Takkyubin service provider. We carried a small day pack for our 1 overnight stay in Omishima. Please note that same day luggage delivery is possible only for selected accommodations within the cycling route. Our itinerary was as follows First day we visited Onomichi->Mukoujima->Innoshima->Ikuchijima (visit Kosanji temple museum)-> Omishima (overnight) On the second day Visit Oyamamizumi shrine,ryokan dropped us off at Sakari Port for ferry ride to bunny island with bikes-> return to Omishima-> Hakata -> Oshima-> Imabari. The route is easy to follow (just look for the blue lines) and the elevations are carefully managed. The ride is not technical at all but some physical conditioning is advised as the route is long (we clocked around 96km mileage with some other small detours or stops). For those who are not entirely comfortable cycling on the roads (especially when there is heavy traffic), there are additional paths parallel to the official cycling route in large stretches on which you can also cycle. In terms of scenery, there is a mix of coastal views, soft industry and citrus orchards. There are restrooms, convenience stores, cafes/restaurants and/or rest stops interspersed along the route. I felt that 2 days was just about right for the trip. Any less and you will probably not be able to do any meaningful sightseeing.
10. Miyajima

Scenic site that includes the Itsukushima Shrine, Otorii Gate and visit to Mt. Misen.
Reviewed By iluv2eatntravel - San Diego, United States
It is nearly impossible to humanly describe the magnitude of what fascinating Miyajima island can offer - one has to experience it first hand. Definitely should be at the top of the list of any visit to Hiroshima. Please plan ahead as you would need a minimum of at least half a day as it should be enjoyed in a unhurried manner. It just seems that time slowed down on the island. If you can, go early and stay late. The island itself is amazingly explorable. Wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes. The buildings, especially the Itsukushima Shine with its gigantic ‘floating’ torii gate and nearby temples and pagodas have beautiful architectures that blends into the natural surroundings of sea, lush forests, and the misty Mount Misen. Wild and friendly deers roam its street freely. The residents of Miyajima were super friendly. Miyajima’s quaint town is filled with rustic buildings of shops and restaurants. Seafood served in the restaurants were delicious especially the grilled oysters freshly harvested in local waters. There are also some very scenic (potentially challenging) hiking trails up Mt Misen. If time is of the essence, and you are not able to hike the entire elevation of Mt Misen, take the ropeway up to near the top and then hike the rest of the way to the summit for some spell binding views at 1755 feet.
