[Hiroshima/Miyajima] A tour around two World Heritage sites in Hiroshima (Miyajima and the Atomic Bomb Dome) recommended by Gold-Guide

Itsukushima Shrine is the only shrine in Japan built on a site where the tides go in and out, and is made up of a large torii gate and a group of Shinden-zukuri style shrine buildings. The main shrine is connected to the Kyakujinja Shrine, Tenjinja Shrine, and Noh stage by corridors on both sides, and is in perfect harmony with the natural backdrop, creating a picturesque beauty. The gorgeous and mysterious beauty of the architecture fascinates all who visit. Deer live on the island and welcome visitors.

This vast park in the center of Hiroshima was built near the hypocenter in hopes of achieving lasting world peace. Within the park, you will find the Atomic Bomb Dome, a registered World Heritage Site, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which exhibits the state of Hiroshima at the time of the atomic bombing, the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, and the International Conference Center Hiroshima.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum opened in 1955 with the goals of conveying the reality of the damage caused by the atomic bomb to people around the world and contributing to the realization of nuclear weapons abolition and lasting world peace, which are the spirit of Hiroshima.
At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima became the first city in the world to be hit by an atomic bomb.
The town was almost completely destroyed, and many people lost their lives. Those who barely survived suffered great physical and mental trauma, and many survivors are still suffering to this day. Since the leaders of various countries visited the city during the G7 Summit, the city has spread around the world, and in 2023, a record 1.98 million people visited the city.
