Hiroshima & Charming Miyajima Island: 1 Night

Hiroshima is a city that needs little introduction. Despite its tragic past, Hiroshima is now a bustling and vibrant city which has risen phoenix-like from the ashes. No visit to Hiroshima would be complete without sampling okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake.

*Japan is wonderful country to see by train and of course they are world famous for their advanced bullet train system.
