The city
Hiroshima, on the Ota River delta, was the first city hit by an atomic bomb in 1945. The former city center became the Peace Memorial Park, with the museum, cenotaph and the Atomic Bomb Dome, a World Heritage site. The rebuilt city has streetcars, rivers, the Shukkei-en garden and okonomiyaki restaurants, and it is the base for visiting Miyajima.
