2025 Hatsukaichi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Recommended for those planning a day trip to Hiroshima! Here’s the schedule I followed for my one-day Hiroshima adventure! 🚄 Around 9 AM: Arrive at Hiroshima Station! 🚃 Take the JR train to Miyajimaguchi! ⛴️ Board the ferry to Miyajima! ⛩️ Spend 2–3 hours enjoying Miyajima! First, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Itsukushima Shrine. Then, stroll through the shopping street and savor momiji manju (maple leaf-shaped sweets)! The ice cream sandwich and fried momiji manju are absolutely delicious! Here’s a recommendation: try the momiji manju hand-baking experience! Reservations are required! 💰 Price per person: 880 yen ⚠️ Starting July 1, the price will increase to 1,000 yen. 📍 Location: Yamadaya Miyajima Main Store The experience is not only fun, but the freshly made momiji manju you bake yourself is amazing! You’ll also receive a souvenir of Kirioka sweets, which I personally preferred over momiji manju. I ended up buying a lot of Kirioka sweets from the souvenir shop below the experience venue! ⛴️ Take the ferry back to the mainland. 🚃 Take the JR train from Miyajimaguchi to Otake Station (about 15 minutes). 🚌 Take the free shuttle bus to Shimose Art Museum. ⚠️ The shuttle bus operates only on weekends and holidays! If visiting on weekdays, you can use the local bus instead. 🧑🎨 Shimose Art Museum Selected as one of the most beautiful museums in the world. The architecture is truly stunning—simply beautiful! If you’re visiting Hiroshima, this is a must-see spot! 💰 Price per person: 2,000 yen 🚌 Take the free shuttle bus back to Otake Station. 🚃 Take the JR train from Otake Station to Hiroshima Station. 🚈 Take the streetcar from Hiroshima Station to the Atomic Bomb Dome. 🍽️ Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki at Micchan Located on the first floor of Orizuru Tower next to the Atomic Bomb Dome. It’s a popular restaurant, so make sure to get a numbered ticket in advance! You can receive notifications via LINE about your waiting time. The udon noodles are delicious and highly recommended! 🏢 Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome Make sure to visit for peace education and reflection. 🍨 End your day with dessert at a gelato shop near the Atomic Bomb Dome. The portions are surprisingly large! 🚈 Take the streetcar back to Hiroshima Station. Before boarding the Shinkansen, buy plenty of souvenirs! Hiroshima Station has been newly renovated and is very clean and easy to navigate! 🚄 Board the Shinkansen and head home.

Hiroshima, a city located in the southwest of Honshu Island, Japan, bears a heavy history yet radiates renewed vitality from its ruins. A short two-day trip is enough for you to travel between history and modernity and experience Hiroshima's unique charm. Below is a carefully crafted two-day Hiroshima travel guide. Preliminary Preparations 1. Documents: Bring your valid passport, which is essential for traveling in Japan. Also, prepare relevant documents or vouchers required for hotel bookings and ticket purchases to ensure a smooth trip. 2. Clothing: Hiroshima has four distinct seasons. Spring (March–May): The temperature gradually warms up, and cherry blossoms bloom. Light jackets paired with shirts or dresses are suitable for strolling and enjoying the cherry blossoms. Summer (June–August): It is hot and humid. Wear light and breathable short sleeves, shorts, and skirts. Remember to bring sun protection, such as umbrellas, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. Autumn (September–November): The weather is cool, with a gradual increase in the temperature difference between morning and evening. Pack long-sleeved shirts, thin sweaters, and windbreakers. Winter (December–February): It is cold. Warm clothing such as down jackets, scarves, and gloves are essential. 3. Other items: Prepare comfortable sneakers for long walks in the city. Electrical outlets in Japan are typically two-pronged and flat. If your electronic device plugs do not match, bring a travel adapter. Bring a camera or a phone with a good camera to record your journey, and also bring a power bank. Common medicines such as cold medicine, stomach medicine, and motion sickness medicine can also be prepared in moderation to deal with possible physical discomfort. Also, download translation software and Japanese transportation inquiry apps in advance for convenient communication and travel. Transportation Guide 1. External transportation: If you are traveling to Hiroshima from abroad, you will usually arrive at Hiroshima Airport first. There are airport limousine buses from Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima City, which can take you directly to Hiroshima Station and other places. The journey takes about 50 mins, and the fare is relatively reasonable. Alternatively, you can take a taxi, but the cost is higher. 2. Internal transportation - Railway: The railway network in and around Hiroshima City is relatively well-developed, with JR West lines covering a wide area. Purchasing a JR West Rail Pass is a good option for tourists who plan to travel frequently by rail, allowing unlimited rides on designated trains within a specified period. - Bus: Buses are also a common mode of transportation in Hiroshima, with direct buses between some attractions. You can get bus route maps and timetables at bus stops or tourist information centers. Some attractions also offer bus passes, which can save you money. - Tram: Hiroshima's tram is a unique way to experience local life, traveling through the streets and alleys of the city. Tickets can be purchased on the tram or by using transportation cards such as Suica or Pasmo. Recommended Attractions 1. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park: Built to commemorate the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima, it is the world's first peace-themed park. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in the park displays the tragic consequences of the atomic bombing and the tremendous harm it caused to humanity through a wealth of artifacts, photos, and video materials, prompting deep reflection on the cruelty of war. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park symbolizes humanity's yearning and pursuit of peace and is a must-visit place in Hiroshima. 2. Itsukushima Shrine: As one of Japan's "Three Scenic Views," Itsukushima Shrine is famous for its large torii gate built in the sea and the peculiar sight of appearing to float on the sea during high tide. The shrine has a long history and a unique architectural style, blending traditional Japanese architectural art with the beauty of the natural landscape. The surrounding Miyajima Island also has beautiful beaches and abundant seafood. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while tasting fresh seafood. 3. Hiroshima Castle: Also known as "Carp Castle," it is one of Hiroshima's symbols. The castle was originally built in 1589.

Many cultural relics and materials related to Hiroshima's history are displayed inside the castle, helping visitors gain a deeper understanding of Hiroshima's historical changes. Food Recommendations 1. Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki: This is one of Hiroshima's most representative foods, similar to a pancake. Various ingredients, such as pork, shrimp, squid, and vegetables, are added to the batter, then topped with a special Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and seaweed flakes. It has a rich taste and aroma. You can find many restaurants specializing in Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki in the streets and alleys of Hiroshima and experience the fun of making it yourself. 2. Oyster dishes: Hiroshima is a famous oyster-producing area in Japan. The oysters here are fresh and plump, and there are various ways to eat them. You can try grilled oysters, where fresh oysters are grilled over charcoal and sprinkled with a little lemon juice, making them tender and juicy. There is also oyster rice, where the deliciousness of oysters is blended into the rice, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste. 3. Momiji Manju: This is a traditional Hiroshima confectionery with a cute appearance, usually in the shape of a maple leaf. It has a soft and chewy texture, and the filling comes in various flavors such as red bean paste and cream. It is a good choice whether as a souvenir or a snack during your trip. Itinerary Day 1 - Morning: After arriving in Hiroshima, check in to your hotel, drop off your luggage, and take a short rest. Then, go to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to deeply feel the preciousness of peace.

#ViewingMaple #100TravelWays #Miyajima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, is said to be the island where gods live. It is famous for its sea torii #Itsukushima Shrine and primeval forest. It is a must-see attraction when visiting Hiroshima and Okayama. Autumn is the best season to visit Miyajima, when the mountains are covered with red maple leaves that dye the entire forest red. This time I visited Miyajima during the autumn leaves season. As soon as I took the ferry from the pier to Miyajima, I was attracted by the red torii gate standing on the sea. As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of ​​red leaves all over the mountains. With the Seto Inland Sea as the background, the scenery along the eaves and stone stairs of Itsukushima Shrine was so romantic! #紅葉谷公園 is a famous maple viewing spot in Miyajima. There are more than 700 red-leaf trees planted in the park, including Iharo maple, big maple, melon-shaped maple and mountain maple. Once autumn comes, the leaves turn from green to red, which is romantic and intoxicating. The sea torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine is truly magical. The scenery changes with the ebb and flow of the tide, and it has its own unique charm at different angles and times. The large torii gate is 16 meters high and is one of the largest torii gates in Japan, so it is quite worth seeing. #Japan's Three Views #Miyajima Maple Colors #Hiroshima Travel #Itsukushima Shrine #Viewing Maple Colors #100 Ways to Travel

#Seaview #100 Ways to Travel Located in Hatsukaichi City in the southern part of Hiroshima Prefecture, it is conveniently located to JR Hiroshima Station by train to JR Miyajimaguchi Station, which takes about 30 minutes, or by tram to the last stop, Hiroden Miyajimaguchi Station, which takes about 75 minutes. Then go to the ferry terminal to buy a ferry ticket for ¥200 and Miyajima sightseeing tax of ¥100. Choose the JR West ferry route to and from Miyajima, which is closer to the Great Torii and more convenient for taking pictures of the Great Torii on the sea. The voyage takes about 10 minutes to reach Miyajima. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the ferry terminal to Itsukushima Shrine. There are many wild deer along the way (please do not feed them). When you arrive at the entrance of Itsukushima Shrine, you can buy a ticket for ¥300 to enter and visit. The worship route is one-way and you can walk around the shrine but do not go back. You can check the high and low tide times first, wait quietly on the shore for the tide to ebb and then walk to the Big Torii. Nature is really magical. Time operates quietly according to the rules. The tide rises when it is supposed to rise and ebbs when it is supposed to ebb. After the tide ebbs, the flat sand is exposed and it is safe to walk under the Big Torii. After the tour, we walked back from the shopping street behind Itsukushima Shrine. It is clean here without any peculiar smell of seafood. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops. You can taste the famous oyster dishes. This is probably the most delicious oyster I have ever eaten. It is fresh and has no peculiar smell. You can taste the salty taste of the sea. The price is very affordable and not particularly expensive. Finally, we took a boat back to Miyajimaguchi. I recommend it to everyone. If you travel to Hiroshima, you must come to Miyajima. #Hiroshima #Miyajima #Miyajima deer #Itsukushima #Itsukushima Shrine #Oyster #Torii

#100waysoftravel It is highly likely that somewhere on the internet you've seen a pic of the Tori gate in the water and wondered or even wanted to see it in person. Let me tell you that famous floating gate happens to be on the Miyajima island. While mostly famous for the shinto shrine Itsukushima. Miyajima makes for a wonderful day trip from Hiroshima. I have visited it several times in the past and I continue to as the ferry ride comes complimentary on my transport pass. This famous shrine is a UNESCO heritage and one of the most clicked of places in Japan. The friendly deer are another fascinating inhabitants of this island. They tend to be subjects of many pictures. Once you have explored the shrine area you may take a cable car up to the peak of Mount Misen for breath-taking ocean views and cheeky monkey encounters. #100waysoftravel #miyajimaisland #shintoshrine #Japanholidays #Peaceful #japantrip

\\Tourist Spots// Miyajima, one of Japan's most popular tourist spots, is home to the National Treasure Itsukushima Shrine, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 1996, and is a popular tourist spot both in Japan and overseas. Due to its immense popularity, many people visit the island. If you want to enjoy Itsukushima Shrine in a relaxed and private atmosphere, we recommend visiting early in the morning. On the day of our visit, we visited just before 7:00 in the morning, and it was private for about 20 minutes. Although it may vary depending on the day, we recommend a little before 7:00, when the number of ferries operating from Miyajimaguchi increases. The corridor is designed with gaps to protect against high tides. High heels may get stuck in the gaps. It is a valuable piece of architecture, so please wear comfortable shoes!

The torii gate, which has undergone a major renovation in the Reiwa era, is beautiful in its vibrant vermilion color. The torii gate underwater at high tide is quite picturesque, but at low tide it looks a whole different way. You can walk right up to it and get a feel for its size. Miyajima is home to cultural heritage sites such as an aquarium, a ropeway, and temples and shrines, and is so full of sights that you could spend a whole day on the island alone. In recent years, activities such as SUP have also become more popular. There are also many souvenir shops and other establishments along the road, so it's fun to eat your way around. However, be aware that the shops close early in the evening and at night. It may be safer to eat dinner outside the island.

\\Recommended points// *Located on the island of the gods, Miyajima, it is conveniently located about 3 minutes from Itsukushima Shrine. *You can choose a meal plan to suit your travel plans. *There are guided tours (free) to enjoy Miyajima in the morning and evening. Recommended for those who want to enjoy Miyajima to the fullest!

\\Tourist Spots// Miyajima is one of Japan's most famous tourist spots. It has also been recognized as one of the Three Most Scenic Spots of Japan. The great torii gate, which appears to float on the sea, is particularly impressive and captivates the soul no matter how many times you visit. The first major renovation in 70 years has been completed, so I visited for the first time in several years. The changing torii gate, which can only be seen by staying on the island, was amazing. By the way, depending on where you take the photo, you can take photos of the great torii gate at night, where it turns golden. Please give it a try! Facility name: Itsukushima Shrine, Great Torii Admission fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours Access: Get off at JR Sanyo Main Line, Miyajimaguchi Station (or Hiroshima Electric Railway Line, Miyajimaguchi Station) - (walk) - Miyajimaguchi Pier - (10 minutes by Miyajima Ferry) - Itsukushima Shrine #Hiroshima Tourism #World Heritage Site #Miyajima Tourism #Miyajima #Itsukushima Shrine #Great Torii #777 #Breathtaking View #Couple Trip #Japan #Family Friendly #Girls Trip #Historical Sites #Travel to Experience History and Culture

#wecreate #japan #hiroshima This is tempura momiji, one of Japan’s unique dish that originated from Hiroshima. Momiji means maple leaf in Japanese. Tempura momiji is a dish where they use homemade cake-like bun filled with different fillings and fry them with tempura batter. It’s very tasty! This shop is located in Miyajima, a 10 minutes ferry ride from Miyajimaguchi station. It takes around 30 mins bus ride from hiroshima station to miyajimaguchi station. There are lots of things to see and lots of food to try on this island~ Please do lah a visit there ~ It is best to visit during Sakura season where you can enjoy the view and food at the same time ~

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on Miyajima Island which is near Hiroshima. It is best known for its big floating torii gate . Miyajima can be reached by ferry from Hiroshima or from Miyajimaguchi- which is faster. after getting off at Miyajima guchi train station, simply walk toward the ferry pier. On the weekend there is often a large crowd so following them would likely lead you to the ferry terminal. There are two ferry companies running ferries between Miyajimaguchi and Miyajima; the JR ferry and the Miyajima Matsudai Kisen. Both have large passenger ferries and costs ¥360 round trip for the 10 minutes ride. there are four ferries per hour between 8-6pm, and less frequent schedules in the early and evening hours. After arriving to the island, turn right and walk for 10-15 minutes to reach the shrine. Weekends are particularly busy with tourists so getting there early would help. There are also many deer roaming around so beware of not feeding them with food- they will follow you! It is best to reserve 4-5 hours to leisurely walk around the Shrine and the island. if you have time , a few more hours would be even better to walk further, and enjoy a lunch or tea , or even grilled oysters! #wecreate #japan #shrine #itsukushima #hiroshima

Itsukushima Shrine, the symbol of Miyajima✨ The large-scale renovation of the large torii gate has finally been completed, and it has regained its former vitality😆 Itsukushima Shrine, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, is as popular as you would expect, and there are lines at the ticket office during the day😳🎫 If you want to enjoy photos without people and a quiet space, we highly recommend staying overnight in Miyajima❕ It was worth getting up early at dawn, as I was able to enjoy the majestic morning atmosphere and take beautiful photos without people☺️ However, since it was low tide that morning, it looked like it was floating on the sea. I couldn't take any good photos 😅 But instead I was able to walk up to the large torii gate ⛩ The size and beauty of the shrine is overwhelming when you see it up close 🙌🏻 If you can get there at low tide, please be sure to go up close 👍🏻 The recommended photo spot is the stairs leading to the five-story pagoda and Senjokaku 👀 This is a very nice place, but it's surprisingly unknown, so there aren't many people and it's a hidden gem 🫢💓 It was a little early for cherry blossoms in Miyajima in early March, but they usually bloom from the end of March to early April, so be sure to try to go during cherry blossom season 🦌🌸 #Domestic travel#Miyajima #Hiroshima Prefecture

When visiting Miyajima Island in Japan, you have the option to climb up to Mt. Misen to see the whole island from its highest point. My favourite part of this journey is the breeze you get when you reach the very top. It was by no means a easy walk as paths aren’t properly crafted. On the way up to the peak you’ll see tons of geographical land formations, small temples and even mini statues that some people dress up! It is absolutely adorable! At the peak of the mountain there is a lookout point where you can enjoy the success of your trek up the mountain. Something cool about being here is that you can see the even smaller island where they grow and harvest oysters. I’ve been told that the way oysters are grown and harvested in Hiroshima is unique as they wait for them to weigh down the wooden planks before harvesting them. Hence ensuring they are fat and juicy for consumption. #wecreate #awesomepic #tripblazers
