Japan Travel: Hiroshima and Miyajima

A short stay in Hiroshima offers reflection, culture, and incredible food.
From Hiroshima's city center: Explore the Hiroshima Castle, Atomic Bomb Dome, and Peace Memorial Park; it’s so powerful in person. Skip the museums.
Lunch: Wildman Bagels - a nearby local cafe selling incredible bagels and good coffee.
Dinner: Explore the Okonomi-mura area and find a stall with zero queue. Watch the chef work his magic to make the best okonomiyaki.

Miyajima: The JR pass offers a free ferry ride to Miyajima Island, tremendous value! Unfortunately it was raining and hence we could not hike Mount Misen. There was plenty of food exploration, though. There were plenty of shops selling grilled oysters, and no waiting in line! My heart is so full. #hiroshima #miyajima #japantravel #jrpass #japan
