Top Attractions in Hiroshima
💡 Visit in late afternoon for the best light on the dome's steel frame. There's no need to queue—just stand by the riverside for the iconic shot.
💡 Go early to avoid crowds. The best views of the A-Bomb Dome are from the bridge at the park's northern edge, especially just after sunrise.
💡 Bring a paper crane to add to the displays—there's a small donation box for materials, or fold your own beforehand. Quietest around 8am.
💡 The free outer grounds have a nice view of the castle from the south bridge. The modern art museum inside the park is also free on the first Sunday of the month.
💡 Combine with a tea ceremony in the garden's tea house—costs an extra 500 yen but includes matcha and a sweet. Tickets are sold at the gate.
