The colours of spring flowers, the deep azure of summer, autumnal harvests and fluffy snow in the winter— the land of Hiroshima, a city dedicated to peace.
Now with SilkAir's direct flight to Hiroshima weekly, it has never been easier to hop on a plane and head to your next adventure in this culturally-rich Japanese city. Whether you're viewing the autumn leaves in Miyajima or dining on the region's delicious oysters, there is a trove of unforgettable experiences waiting for you.
4. Feasting on Oysters (牡蠣)
Hiroshima’s gentle waves and weather prove to be favourable conditions when it comes to the production of oysters, and you can bet your bottom dollar that these are the freshest that you can get! Sweet and delicious, these molluscs can be grilled, deep-fried or eaten many other ways— but the best way to savour their creamy, briny goodness is to eat them raw with ponzu sauce!
While we can eat Oysters throughout the year, the winter is the best season for oysters in Hiroshima. In January and February, people enjoy Oyster Matsuri at many places in Hiroshima.
