History
Hiroshima developed as a castle town around Hiroshima Castle in the late 16th century and was later selected as the atomic-bomb target due to its urban-central importance; the Peace Memorial Park preserves that wartime memory.
Conservation
Miyajima limits nighttime development to preserve shrine ambiance and deer habitats; visitors are asked not to feed wildlife and to carry out litter to protect tidal ecosystems.

Start early for Miyajima
Catch the first ferry or visit the torii at high tide in the morning to avoid the largest day-trip crowds and get cleaner photos.
Carry small cash & IC card
Many shrines and street vendors accept only cash or local transit IC cards—keep at least ¥2,000 on hand for ferry, snacks, and admission.
Dress respectfully at memorial sites
At Peace Memorial Park keep voices low, avoid eating within memorial grounds, and follow signage—these are active remembrance spaces.
Expect uneven steps
Temple approaches and older streets have stone steps and cobbles—sturdy, broken-in shoes reduce fatigue and risk of slips.
