Where to stay

The southern Japanese city of Hiroshima suffered the world's first atomic bomb attack during World War II, but it has rebuilt itself over the decades to become a cosmopolitan city. Perched on the shores of the Ota and Motoyasu rivers, today it is a fascinating destination. Visitors will discover upscale hotels with sea views, trendy accommodations amid the hustle of entertainment neighborhoods, and relaxing places to stay where temples and pagodas are common. From world-class museums to memorial parks and delicious dining options, there is much more to Hiroshima than its devastating past.
