Hiroshima is a large and modern city with wide boulevards and an interesting culture. It's located on the edge of the Seto Inland Sea and although Hiroshima is most famous for its tragic history as the location of the first atomic bomb attack, today it is a modern and cosmopolitan city with a vibrant nightlife and interesting culture.

Hiroshima is a welcoming place to visit and there are several exhibits that are designed to educate and inform visitors of the city's past without blame or accusation. Still, it is best not to intrusively bring up the topic as many residents have family members who were directly effected by the atomic bomb.

Hiroshima has a wide range of accommodation types for all travel types and budgets. Like elsewhere in Japan, accommodation can be expensive. If you're on a particularly tight budget, a hostel is likely your best option and the city has some nice hostels that are affordable and comfortable.
