but now Hiroshima is a modern,  cosmopolitan city

with excellent culture, nature, and food.

Hey, guys, I am Yusuke Nasu,  and today's Japanesquest,

I'm gonna introduce the 7 best places to  visit in Hiroshima!

Shukkeien is a beautiful garden that was  constructed in 1620.

This garden offers a relaxing moment in  the center of the busy Hiroshima city.

The most iconic object here is this  semicircle shaped bridge named Koko-Kyo.

It's translated as "riding on a rainbow".

Shukkeien is constructed as a strolling  garden.

Which means visitors can enjoy different  views by walking around.

This beautiful garden often attracts  newlyweds

to capture their happiest day of their  life.

If you get tired of the bustle of the  Hiroshima city,

Miyajima is a sacred island in the  southwest of Hiroshima city

that can be reached less than 1 hour by  train and ferry.

The main attraction of Miyajima is the  Itsukushima shrine.

and it is even the source of island's  name Miyajima,

that's literally translated as  "the shrine island".

At high tide, this giant Torii gate seems  to be floating on the water.

they needed to build the entrance gate  out of the island.

At low tide, the water drains out of the  bay.

The contrast between the high-tide and  low-tide

is the most interesting aspect of  Miyajima.

After the Itsukushima shrine, why don't  we climb up the Mount Misen.

The Mount Misen has an elevation of 500  meters,

and it takes about 2 hours on foot to the  mountaintop.

there are ropeways that carry us to the  Shishiiwa Station on the mountainside.

From the Shishiiwa station, it takes  about 20-minute walk to the summit.

We can see the Hiroshima city in the  north.

This mountain is my favorite place in  Hiroshima.

So when you visit the Miyajima Island,  be sure to check Mount Misen.

Just 5 minutes away from the Hiroshima  city,

Mazda museum locates near the  Mukainada station.

An auto company The Mazda Motor  Corporation runs this museum,

and it showcases their innovative  technology and history.

We are taken to their museum by Mazda bus.

And remember, a reservation on their  website is needed to join this tour.

With attendance of an English speaking  guide,

we can learn about Japan's car industry  and manufacture.

The best attraction here is the assembly  line tour.

but the Mazda company was kind enough  to provide us footage.

And who knows, your next car may be  gonna be a Mazda!

Peace memorial park is dedicated to the  legacy of Hiroshima

as the first city in the world to suffer  a nuclear attack.

the atomic bomb exploded 160 meters  southeast of this dome.

Today, it is one of the few buildings  that still remain.

The statue on the top is based on a  true story of Sadako Sasaki,

a young girl who died from radiation  from the bomb,

and who believed that if she folded 1,000  paper cranes, she would be cured.

To this day, people from around the world  send cranes here to pray for peace.

Memorial Cenotaph is dedicated to the  atomic bomb victims.

The arch shape represents a shelter for  the souls of the victims.

This monument is inscribed with the words,

"Let all the souls here rest in peace,  for we shall not repeat the evil."

Visiting this memorial park makes you  think about wars and peace.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum  is located inside the Peace Memorial Park,

and it documents the atomic bomb and  its aftermath.

how that horrific event affected the  Hiroshima city and its people.

Though let me stress that the exhibits  here

are not concerned with blame or  accusations.

They are more like reminders of that  we should not take peace for granted.

What I love most about here is the  signature books right before the exit.

They are filled with people's warm  comments,

and how we learn from the past and strive  to make a better future.

Last but not least, let me introduce  Okonomiyaki,

a Japanese pancake made with various  ingredients.

and the best place to experience that is  Okonomimura village.

It is a building dedicated to Okonomiyaki.

the building contains about 30  Okonomiyaki restaurants.

Okonomiyaki means "however you like  to bake".

As the name suggests, we can choose a  variety of sauces, ingredients, and so on.
