I came to Hiroshima specifically to see the site of the atomic bomb explosion. Due to the G7 Hiroshima Summit, the tram from the train station to the memorial park was closed halfway and no traffic was allowed. I got off the tram and walked underground to a nearby area. The memorial park was completely closed and I had to leave with regret.
The Atomic Bomb Dome is nice to see during the day, but the reflection of the dome on the river is also nice. I think it would be nice to learn about history during the day, and enjoy the city lit up in orange lights while gazing at the river at night.

A peaceful town to visit in Japan. Sad history but also beautiful memorial park.
I made a special trip to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Due to the G7 Hiroshima Summit, the roads were closed and the tram could not go there. I got off the train and walked through the underground tunnel to the vicinity of the Peace Memorial Park. The entire Peace Memorial Park was closed, and I only regretted leaving.

The Setouchi Inland Sea is known as the Aegean Sea of Japan, and Ushimado in Setouchi City is one of the most representative tourist spots. The azure blue sea and sky, green olive fields, nostalgic streets, and beautiful sunsets, why not have a date at this unique spot?
The boat swayed gently, and I watched the pelicans swiftly shuttle through the water, while the Japanese castle Ozu Castle and the beautiful mountain villa Wolong Villa slowly came into view from behind the boat.
In Japan, there are only three places where you can see pelicans fishing, they are the Nagara River in Gifu, the Mikuma River in Oita, and the Hirugawa River in Ehime.
No.

On the first floor, there is an experience corner with merchandise sales and slides. The cranes that have been collected since the museum opened are piled up, and it looks fantastic from the outside. There is also a tram running right in front of you. You can also lie down and relax at the Hiroshima Hill booth.
The top floor is open and breezy, far from the crowds, and is the best!
I thought the 2,200 yen admission fee was a bit expensive, but I thought I might as well drop in since I was there anyway, and it turned out to be much better than I expected.
One floor down from the observation deck, there is a corner where you can fold origami cranes and play some games. What's interesting is the attempt to post a cranes you've folded yourself. It's best to experience this for yourself.
It's very close to the Atomic Bomb Dome, so it's easy to stop by!
