Top Rated Attractions in Hiroshima

Search Radius (Miles)
Shukkeien Garden

Shukkeien Garden is in a league of its own in this green city. Sculpted gardens, paths, ponds, bridges, waterfalls, bamboo groves, and cherry and plum blossom viewing in season, make this picturesque garden an extremely pleasant and photogenic place to go for a stroll. Tea ceremonies can often be seen performed by kimono-clad women in lawn-side tents.

Itsukushima Shrine

Much of Hiroshima was reconstructed following the 1945 atomic attacks; few buildings of historical and/or cultural interest remain intact. An exception, along with Mitaki and Fudoin Temples, is Itsukushima Shrine on nearby Miyajima island. Suspended over the blue waters of the Seto Inland Sea, Itsukushima Shrine is traditional Shinto Japan at its best, blending unique architecture with the natural environment to create an aesthetic and spiritual whole. Its vermilion torii gate is a national treasure, its "floating" form an ethereal beauty that welcomes visitors into a world of serenity. The existing shrine dates back to the mid-16th Century but was constructed upon a design conceived of in the 12th Century. Built upon a pier, the temple seems to be afloat on the waters of the Bay, adding to its wholesome appeal. It was established by Kiyomori and dedicated to the goddesses he believed he owed his success to. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also home to several national treasures, such as the Heike Nōkyō, a set of thirty-two scrolls, each completed by a member of Kiyomori's family.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

This museum is, from a moral and historical standpoint, one that perhaps all visitors to Hiroshima should visit. It contains heartbreaking and informative exhibitions and items connected with that fateful day in 1945. Historical records and contemporary exhibits can be explored here. A wealth of information in English is available for the international visitor. The museum is located in the Peace Memorial Park. Hours are seasonal.

Hiroshima Museum of Art

Located in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Museum of Art is a lesson in the trajectory of European art, housed in modern Japan. The first room displays work by Romantics and Impressionists, while subsequent rooms proceed through post-Impressionism to Fauvism and Cubism, culminating in the Fourth Gallery and l'ecole de Paris. The second gallery of four rooms contains work by Japanese painters in oils, from the Meiji Restoration Era to the present.

Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)

Set in the wilds of Hijiyama Park, the Museum of Contemporary Art blends landscaping and aesthetics into a pleasing whole, a metaphor of the natural environment around this premier cultural institution. Inside, the museum is notable for periodic displays of contemporary art. Past exhibits have included works by Andy Warhol and a display of "art as resistance" from the politically troubled islands of Indonesia. Outside, the museum is sculpted into the mountainside. Around the museum are sculpture-lined trails, and a scenic lookout over Hiroshima, complete with Henry Moore installation.

Hiroshima Castle

Hiroshima Castle is a major landmark in the city visited by scores of tourists. Designated a national treasure in the 1950s, reconstruction of the donjon and some of the outbuildings began shortly thereafter. Overgrown foundations give the grounds an enjoyably rustic air. The five-story castle donjon houses a collection of swords, armor, a display of instruments and exhibits related to Hiroshima's past.
