Miyajima Island — a sights day
The sacred island of Itsukushima in Hiroshima Bay, where a vermilion shrine and its great torii appear to float at high tide, tame deer roam the lanes, and a ropeway climbs holy Mt Misen for bay views. A full, magical day-trip — reached by a short ferry from Miyajimaguchi.

Shrine厳島神社60 minThe UNESCO-listed shrine built on stilts over the sea, its corridors and great red torii appearing to float at high tide and standing on the sand at low tide (when you can walk out to the gate). A small admission; check the tide table to plan your visit, and arrive early to beat the day-trip crowds.

The lively lane from the pier to the shrine, lined with shops for momiji-manju cakes, hand-carved rice scoops (a Miyajima craft) and grilled-oyster and street-food stands. Tame deer mingle with the crowds; per-shop hours follow the ferry timetable.

Landmark嚴島神社大鳥居30 minThe 16-metre vermilion gate standing in the sea before the shrine — Japan's most photographed torii, 'floating' at high water and reachable on foot across the sand at low tide. Free to view any time; magical at sunset and when lit after dark.

Temple大聖院45 minA wonderful hillside temple of spinning sutra wheels, hundreds of little capped Jizo statues and a cave of lanterns, far quieter than the shrine below. Free and atmospheric; reached up a flight of steps, so less pram-friendly.

Viewpoint宮島ロープウエー90 minA two-stage ropeway up holy Mt Misen for sweeping views over the Seto Inland Sea and its islands; a 30-minute uphill walk continues to the summit and its ancient eternal flame. Wild monkeys and deer about; the summit hike is steep, so not for prams.

Downtown (Hondori & Castle) & nearby — a sights day
Hiroshima's busy centre — the covered Hondori and Hatchobori arcades, the okonomiyaki halls, the rebuilt castle and the elegant Shukkeien strolling garden. Trams thread it all together; this is where you eat, shop and base yourself.

Museum広島平和記念資料館90 minThe deeply affecting museum documenting the atomic bombing and its human toll, rebuilt with a strong, modern exhibition. Sobering and not for very young children, but step-free and pram-accessible; allow time and expect emotion. Hours shorten in winter.

Park平和記念公園45 minThe wide riverside park linking the museum and the Dome, with the arched cenotaph framing the eternal flame and the Dome beyond. Flat, open and free to wander; a calm space for reflection between the museum and the monuments.

Landmark原爆の子の像15 minThe monument to Sadako and the child victims, ringed by glass cases of thousands of folded paper cranes sent from around the world. A short, moving stop on the park walk; always accessible.

Historic site原爆ドーム30 minThe gutted, dome-topped ruin left almost directly below the 1945 blast and preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage peace memorial. Viewed from the riverside walk around it (no interior access); always open, free, flat and stroller-friendly — most powerful at dusk when lit.

Historic site広島城60 minA faithful 1958 reconstruction of the 1590s 'Carp Castle' destroyed in 1945, set in a moated park with a history museum inside the keep and shrine grounds around it. The park is flat and free; the keep has stairs and lovely top-floor views.

Museum広島県立美術館60 minA roomy art museum next to Shukkeien, strong on Japanese crafts and Showa-era art and home to Dalí's 'Dream of Venus'; its café overlooks the garden. A calm, accessible pairing with Shukkeien; usually closed Mondays.
