Hiroshima, day by day

Hiroshima is the Peace Memorial Park and the dome that survived, a rebuilt castle and a garden of miniature landscapes, the floating torii of Miyajima an hour away, and the best okonomiyaki in Japan. Start with three days that give one to the city, one to the island and one to the temple in the woods and the wooden bridge of Iwakuni, with the 2026 hours, fares and the castle closure that matter.
