There are too few bus services, so getting here is really inconvenient!

Oyster & Smoked BAR SANGO
Over in Hiroshima Station’s West Exit area (nicknamed “Ekinishi”) sits Oyster & Smoked BAR SANGO, an authentic oyster bar serving up local Hiroshima oysters and bites from across Japan in raw, grilled, fried, steamed plates and more.
The vibe here is super chill—perfect for drinks and dinner with friends!
The oysters are fresh and there are lots of ways to enjoy them. The smoked dishes are really unique, and everything goes great with cocktails.
The lighting is dim and cozy, which makes it a great spot for a hangout or a date. If you love seafood, you’ll definitely love this place! -
Showa Kinen Park
Grassy fields and water fountains, sports courts, gardens of seasonal flowers and trees to enjoy and pond shore vegetation to be appreciated are dotted throughout this park, roughly the size of 40 Tokyo Domes.
There are different flowers to see all year round, so you never have to worry about coming at the wrong time. If you want to capture the beauty of all four seasons, you can visit several times and always find something new.

Takao-san Yakuo-in
Takao-san Yakuo-in was founded in 744 by the renowned Buddhist priest Gyoki on the orders of Emperor Shomu. Located on the slopes of Mount Takao, its formal name is Takao-san Yakuo-in Yuki-ji. It is a head temple of Shingon Buddhism and is considered one of the three major head temples in the Kanto region, alongside Narita-san Shinsho-ji and Kawasaki Daishi Heiken-ji. Its principal deity is Izuna Daigongen, an incarnation of Fudo Myo-o. Mount Takao is said to be home to the deity’s tengu attendants, and numerous tengu statues can be found throughout the temple grounds.
This place has a thousand years of history and is full of energy. After reaching the top, you can even see Mt. Fuji. If you're visiting Mt. Takao, you definitely shouldn't miss this spot.
