Best Luxury Hotels in Hiroshima
Much of Hiroshima’s tourism is of course focused on the story of the city’s infamous nuclear bomb; it’s a place that reminds its visitors of the ways in which the past must never be repeated. A frequent stop on bucket list trips across Japan, the area has emerged (after being mostly razed to the ground) as a modern metropolis and ambassador of peace, with much to offer in the way of history, but also as a burgeoning luxury destination. Unmissable attractions include the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Museum and the Peace Park, Hiroshima Castle and Shukkei-en Garden.
