Experience Hiroshima And Setouchi By Winning A Pair Of Tickets With SilkAir

A wonderful adventure awaits you

Where exactly is Hiroshima, you may ask? A historical city located in Japan's Honshu Island— it was largely destroyed in the Second World War by an atomic bomb. Ever since then, Hiroshima has picked itself up and modernized into the blossoming popular tourist destination that it is today.

In this article, we'll be introducing the different things to do in the upcoming spring and summer seasons in this beautiful area.

For cycling enthusiasts or those who want to get active during their visit to Hiroshima, the Shimanami Kaido Cycling Course—the route connecting between Onomichi and Shikoku region, is one of the must-do activities when visiting Hiroshima! Chosen by CNN as one of the 7 best bike routes in the world—the entire 70-km course has a dedicated cycling route, keeping cyclists away from the traffic and close to the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. Choose to customize your route by either completing small sections at a time and returning to Onomichi on a boat or a bus, or go all out to finish the entire course.
