- See Peace Memorial Park
Take at least half a day to explore the museum and its surroundings. Go early in the morning if you can as it can get quite busy during the day with school groups etc. - Taste Okonomiyaki
We sampled some in Okonomi-mura in the entertainment district, Shintenchi, super yummy and great atmosphere! There are around 20 stalls on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor. As with bars, just take the elevator and stop on every floor to have a look. - Explore Miyajima
This island is famous for the view of the torii gate standing in the sea, but make sure to also check out the Daisho-in temple with hundreds of little Buddhas and lanterns. If you haven’t seen the Inland Sea yet, go up Mount Misen and you will be rewarded with sweeping vistas, worthwhile even when it is rainy. Be careful though on your way down the treacherous steps when it is wet – or just get the cablecar down, much easier!
