With a population of just over 1.1 million people spread out over a 900 square kilometer area, Hiroshima City sprawls out from the bustling city center. Getting around is easy, thanks to the modern tram service called Hiroden. With around 300 trams in service, more than any other city in Japan, they make for a convenient and scenic way to see the city.

The city of Hiroshima is a great place for trekking through dense forests and enjoying natural hot springs. Discover quaint towns like Onomichi and Tomonoura or enjoy golden beaches, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and the iconic Itsukushima on Miyajima—the floating shrine with a red gate set in the sea. Hiroshima’s other World Cultural Heritage site, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and its surrounding memorial park are monuments to peace.
