This
city needs little introduction after the events of the Second
World War and there are various landmarks in memory of this.
It is testament to Japanese resilience that Hiroshima was rebuilt
in such a short period of time and furthermore made this city
even more industrious than it's pre-war state.
Due to its proximity, Hiroshima is also a convenient place to
reach Shikoku
by ferry and the Hiroshima-yaki is a regional food that is worth
a taste. Places to visit:
Peace Park - A memorial to the tragic events of August
6, 1945.
Peace Memorial Museum - The Peace Memorial Museum is
situated inside the park.
Cenotaph - Also located in the park, it holds the names
of thousands of victims of the nuclear attack.
