Itsukushima shrine
The shrine is known as true refined architectural beauty. The striking Heian period (794-1185) styled palatial design features a unique composition of layouts and the boldest choice of building location.
During high tide, the vermilion lacquered corridors of the shrine appear if they are almost floating upon the surface of the water. The concept envisioned by Taira Nokiyomori brings together the backdrop of Mount Misen and the Seto Inland Sea with their interwinding colors to present a scenery that boasts an unprecedented beauty like no other.
If you take the ferry from Miyajimaguchi port to over to Miyajima Sanbashi, Miyajima Island's famous resident deer will be there to greet you. The path leading towards Itsukushima Shrine is laden with souvenir shops for tourists enjoyment, with the famous momiji manju and rice paddles on sale.

Atomic Bomb Dome
A once-famous place in Hiroshima loved by its people. However, on the morning of August 6th, 1945 Hiroshima's city was flattened in an instant as a result of an atomic bomb being dropped.
The Atomic Bomb Dome is a registered UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site that serves as a strong reminder to not allow such a tragedy to ever be repeated, and as an expression of hope for world peace. The site's dark origins have also lead it to be called a "Legacy of Tragedy".

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
The museum features exhibits of photos, records, and mementos of victims that have been gathered to help illustrate the damage and suffering Hiroshima and its people experienced as a result of the atomic bombing during World War Two.

Hiroshima Castle was originally built in 1589 by Mori Terumoto. After the castle tower suffered severe damage in the atomic bombing, the exterior underwent restoration in 1958. 400 years following its fortification, in 1989 the castle was remodeled and currently operates as a historical archive for Buke culture records. Situated close to the city center, the local people often visit the area to relax and refresh.
