原爆圓頂館靜靜矗立在和平紀念公園對側，以僅存的殘破結構，無聲地向世人訴說戰爭的殘酷，以及和平的珍貴。
不只是來到廣島必訪的景點，更是這座城市浴火重生的見證人。活在今日和平的社會，我們更應珍惜得來不易的安穩，省思戰爭所帶來的苦難與破壞，並記住那些曾經逝去的生命。
願所有逝者安息，也願溫暖的陽光照亮這片曾經受傷的土地，讓和平的信念代代延續。

Shukkeien Garden
Shukkeien Garden dates back to 1620 when Asano Nagaakira, the feudal load, ruled the Hiroshima area and ordered the construction of the garden for his villa.
Shukkeien Garden in Hiroshima is a Japanese garden steeped in history. It's next to the Hiroshima Museum of Art, making it convenient to visit both on the same day. The garden is beautiful, with its ponds, bridges, trees, and teahouses complementing one another. Each season offers a different charm, making it a rare peaceful retreat in the city. After walking through the garden, you can also stop by the museum to enjoy its extensive art collection.

Kaki Goya Fukuromachi Umihei Shoten
Opened in 2013 as a direct branch of the famous “Milky Tetsuo’s Oyster Hut Ujina”, Kaki Goya Fukuromachi Umihei Shoten continues the oyster hut tradition with the same sourcing methods and focus on freshness. Keep a pin on this go-to spot for Hiroshima oysters all year around.
When visiting Hiroshima, if you want to experience the authentic atmosphere of a Japanese-style izakaya, consider stopping by Umihei Shoten. The interior has a touch of nostalgic Showa-era charm, and the atmosphere is lively and full of local character, with plenty of people gathering after work. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a hearty meal after a full day of sightseeing.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, but the steamed oysters impressed me the most. A large metal box comes filled with fresh, plump oysters in their shells. The moment you open the lid, the aroma hits you. They have a rich ocean flavor and are sweet and juicy, and every bite lets you savor the oysters' natural freshness. Compared with the more common grilled oysters, I actually prefer them steamed〜I recommend giving them a try. -

Hiroshima Electric Railway (Streetcar)
A public transportation operator that runs streetcars and buses primarily in Hiroshima City, and is affectionately known locally as “Hiroden.” It connects central Hiroshima with the Miyajima area, spanning a total length of about 34.6 km. In terms of both fleet size and passenger volume, it has one of Japan’s largest streetcar networks, supporting a wide range of travel from sightseeing to commuting.
Hiroshima's streetcars are an important means of transportation in the city. Their nostalgic, retro appearance as they travel through the streets is also an iconic part of Hiroshima's cityscape. The routes cover the city, making it easy to travel between various tourist attractions. If you're planning to visit Miyajima, you can also take the streetcar to Miyajimaguchi, then transfer to a ferry to Miyajima. It's very convenient.
