When on an Asia cruise to Hiroshima, Japan, you’ll find top-notch historic and cultural institutions right at your fingertips. Hiroshima quickly rebuilt after an atomic bombing in 1945 during World War II, and history buffs will be fascinated by Hiroshima’s enduring resilience in the face of tragedy. Monuments like Peace Park and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial are a testament to the region’s history and remind us to never forget the loss of life that happened as a result of the bombing.
For meaningful walks through history, head to Shukkeien Garden. Take a tour of incredible miniature garden landscapes and see Hiroshima Castle, which dates all the way back to 1589. Or take a more outdoorsy approach to exploring with a half-day excursion to Miyajima Island. It’s less than an hour from Hiroshima. Hike Mount Misen and check out the beautiful Japanese temple Daishō-in at the summit.
