Things to do in Hiroshima Prefecture

Highly recommend booking this full-day Miyajima and Hiroshima tour! The entire itinerary was seamless because everything was taken care of for us, from purchasing tickets to waiting in line. Our guide, Niki, was fantastic. Since she is a local, she shared a lot of fascinating insights and history as we explored each site. I also really appreciated how considerate she was of the group, especially making sure that guests who needed more time to get around due to mobility issues were comfortably accommodated. A completely stress-free experience!

Thomas was a wonderful tour guide. He was very informative and easy to talk to. I would have liked to hear more information about the military base in Hiroshima, but I understand there was a lot to cover! This tour made me even more interested to do my own self-guided study of the city’s history. Thank you, Thomas!

We visited during the Obon holiday, and there were so many tourists that the exhibition hall was packed, making it impossible to see the exhibits. It was a real shame! However, inside the exhibition, you could truly feel the horror of nuclear energy in warfare. I hope for world peace and an end to all wars.

this is a really great place to educate yourself about Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, be prepared because for sure there will be lots of emotions during you are doing the tour.

Beautiful aquarium! It seems small, but it's actually full of things to see! The tanks are beautiful and spotless, every animal has its natural habitat, and the information signs are also in English! Even better is the daily program of attractions and shows, which is varied and not repetitive, but still allows people not to miss a show! There are also interactive tanks suitable for children and the more curious! Truly beautiful!

While it's not a full 360-degree view, you can see all the main sights here. There's a spot on the first floor and also upstairs. It's a great place to relax until evening after buying a lemon drink. For the night view, you can go up when it operates as a bar, but I didn't go up. It's quite high up, so the breeze was cool, but the bars made it a bit difficult to take good photos. Still, it's a nice place to relax while looking out over Hiroshima city. If you choose the origami option, you can go down a floor to fold a paper crane and drop it, and they'll even take a picture for you if you hand them your phone.

just the roundtrip shinkansen between Osaka and Hiroshima tickets is worth the price paid already, everything thing else is a free add on. definitely get this pass!

The Kegura performance was fantastic from start to finish. The costumes were magnificent and they were so detailed and intricate. The performers were so impressive - even more so when you know that the troupe have “day” jobs alongside such skilled performing. the engagement with the audience was superb with active participation encouraged and clearly welcomed. The competes were also great, including an English speaking compete was a really lovely touch. We loved having the opportunity to experience this traditional theatrical art form in such a brilliant venue. This was definitely a highlight of our 3 weeks in Japan and we couldn’t recomm nd it more highly. booking through Klook was so easy and the organisation at the venue was superb. if you’re in Hiroshima don’t miss this.

My biggest takeaway from using the Hiroshima Enjoy Pass this time was how "convenient and cost-effective" it was. I initially bought it just to try it out, but after using it, I found that it effectively saved me money on everything from sightseeing and shopping discounts to transportation. From visiting Itsukushima Shrine and strolling through Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to buying souvenirs around Hiroshima Station, every use was incredibly smooth – all I had to do was show the mobile pass. For travelers like me who prefer to plan their own itinerary and don't want to rush, the flexibility of using it within seven days was especially practical. Overall, the Hiroshima Enjoy Pass not only saved me money but also added a sense of ease and relaxation to my trip. It's a practical pass I'd highly recommend to first-time visitors to Hiroshima.
