What to do around Hiroshima region

 Hiroshima is a very huge and beautiful place to visit.  Many people just go to A bomb and peace park.  Museums are gem !  Hiroshima castle too.

Islands linked to WWII,  the rabbit island and the island where chemical warfare researches were done which are safe to visit. 

Yamato museum in Kure being the best marine design and technology then.  

Not only that , there’s isle islands which are breathtaking. 

City of Hiroshima,  Kure, outskirt to Iwakuni, Onomichi 

There are really heritage and yet not even tourism related,  100 years historic town - Tomonoura. ( need to bring drink and snacks as it’s totally a town left in the past )

Not to mention Miyajima that is not only the heritage coastal, low tide torii, it has aquarium,  cable to visit the mountains and then many other heritage temples that are out of tourism territory!

Iwakuni other than Kintaigyo, has a huge area of many interesting places like royal burial site, the white snake museum , the cable up the beautiful mountain etc etc.

Food: okonomiyaki,  oysters during year end,  yakisoba,  maple cake .

If you have time, explore  Yamaguchi, Okayama,  shimane, totorii too. They are the forgotten places yet they have really beautiful garden,  places of interests too.  

In Okayama,  kurashiki (water village). Walking distant from Okayama jr station, you walk pass the old shopping street before reaching Kurashiki . Very interesting history and different food and shops too.
