2 Days in Hiroshima Japan 2025 – What to do in Hiroshima Japan.

Hiroshima. Imagine arriving here for the first time. From riverside streets and local flavours to cosy coffee corners and the gateway to Miyajima Island, one of Japan's three most scenic sites. Let me show you how to travel Hiroshima. Our journey begins in the heart of Hiroshima. After the delicious coffee, we wandered into Shukkeien Garden. And from there, a hike up to the Peace Pagoda. Back down in the city, we explored Hiroshima Castle, a reconstruction but still a proud reminder of the city's past. By late afternoon, we arrived at Peace Memorial Park. Before sunset, we made our way to Hiroshima Orizuru Tower. This video isn't sponsored, but if you want to support my work, a quick thumbs up helps more than you think. We returned to the park for one last walk, past the flame of peace, still burning. For dinner, we went to Okonomimura, home to some of the best okonomiyaki Hiroshima has to offer. We start the day with a river cruise, a 45-minute ride, leaving right from the Peace Memorial area and gliding down toward Miyajima Island. Arriving at the island, we were greeted by deers wandering freely through the island. From the shore, the view opens to one of Japan's most iconic sights, the Great Otori Gate of Itsukushima Shrine, standing tall in the shallow waters. winding paths and the soft sound of prayer wheels turning in the breeze. Omotesando Street is Miyajima's lively shopping lane, filled with grilled oysters, sweet momiji manju and local crafts. The perfect stop before leaving the island. By early afternoon, we returned to the mainland, collected our luggage and headed toward our next destination, Takayama.
