Top 5 Attractions in and around Hiroshima

As with any city, Hiroshima is bursting with energy and charm and has a wide selection of attractions from museums and galleries to theatres and museums. Here are some of its top rated attractions;

• The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is an important exhibit to the events of the atomic bombing of 1945 and shouldn't be missed. The museum presents the facts of the events and aims to contribute to the full abolition of nuclear weapons.
• Hiroshima Castle is another top attraction. The original castle was destroyed in the bombing but a replica built in 1958 and serves as a museum to commemorate pre-war Hiroshima.
• The beautifully landscaped Shukkei-en gardens are well worth a visit and provide a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Winding paths, ponds and bridges wind their way around pretty waterfalls and teahouses, creating a prime example of Japanese garden design at its best.

Art lovers should head to the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum which has a collection of art by European artists such as Dali and Magritte as well as works by Japanese Artists. Car enthusiasts may prefer to head to the Mazda Museum which houses a collection of cars and tours of the nearby plant.
• If you’re looking for a fun night out and taste of modern Japan, head to the Nagarekawa district. The area has a collection of bars including plenty of tourist-friendly pubs clustered around the giant PARCO building.
