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.

1. Onomichi 

Take a walk and discover the unique and historic site of Onomichi, designated as a ‘Japanese Heritage City’ in 2015. Popular among film-fans, foodies and cyclists, you can definitely find lots to do here!

Spring is the best time to come and visit this mountain-side town, as it will be draped in sweet cherry blossoms. Grab some takeout from the convenience store and head on over to Senkoji Park, where you’ll be able to witness about 1,500 cherry blossom trees, descended from the line of Japan’s “three great sakura’ trees.

While you’re there, don’t forget to stop by for some of the area’s signature Onomichi Ramen. Featuring a clear dashi broth made using chicken bones and small fish, the thin, flat noodles are then topped off with chashu, bamboo shoots and green onions.
