Wikitravel Guide to Hiroshima and Western Japan
 Look inside! 
|
by Marc Heiden and the Wikitravel community
Hiroshima is an industrial city of wide boulevards and criss-crossing rivers, located along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea. Although many only know it for the horrific split second on August 6, 1945, when it became the site of the world's first atomic bomb attack, it is now a modern, cosmopolitan city with unforgettable museums, lively festivals, and lots of great food and nightlife.
This guide also includes day trips throughout the wilds of western Japan, from the sand dunes of Tottori and the deadly culinary delights of Shimonoseki to a climb up the Stone Hammer in Shikoku and a dip in the Bath of the Gods at Do-go Onsen. And with a bit more time, the enigmatic Iya Valley and the epic 88 Temple Pilgrimage beckon...
