Poised on the coast at the western end of the Inland Sea, Hiroshima is also the
jumping-off point for several islands, most notably verdant Miya-jima , home of the
beautiful shrine Itsukushima-jinja . The view out to the red torii gate standing in the
shallows in front of the shrine is rightly one of Japan's most celebrated, and although
the island is often swamped by day-trippers it's a delightful place to spend the night.

the lively entertainment district, this building has 28 small okonomiyaki stalls crammed

one of the best in town. Daily 11am-9pm.
