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.
4. Tomonoura
With more than 1000 years of history, Tomonoura is a beautiful port town located in Fukuyama City and was considered as a pivotal crossroad for trade in the Seto Inland Sea back in the day. When you’re there, do check out the sea view from Fukuzenji Temple Taicho Ro, an Edo period guesthouse. The location is so picturesque that a Korean envoy once famously remarked that “it is the most beautiful view in Japan”.
While you’re there, do check out the Joyato Lighthouse, an eleven-metre tall structure built during the Edo period that stands proudly as Tomonoura’s town symbol.
With all this information in hand, you must be thinking: "How do I get to Hiroshima from Singapore?"
You’ll be glad to find out that the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, flies to Hiroshima three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. During the period from now till 24 Feb 2019, SilkAir will be flying two times a week on Mondays and Thursdays only. Book your flight from $528.00* and learn more about Hiroshima.
