The famous shrine built on stilts with its torii gate set in the sea.
Reviewed By Sparkie09 - Goa, India
Was such an experience visiting this shrine in Miyajima...walking through the path and an old gate and the sight of the floating Tori gate in the sea and the temple itself on stilts...to beat the high tides.
2. Atomic Bomb Dome
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5,989 reviews
This skeleton of a building is all that remains in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on August 6, 1945, and serves as a symbol of both the horrors of atomic war and the hope for world peace.

The Atomic Bomb Dome is a well maintained piece of history that should be visited by everyone. It is preserved also for future generations. Words cannot describe this place, just have to go for yourself

The Peace Memorial park is an area where you can walk and remember the horrors of the war by seeing several points: Genbaku Dome, Eternal Flame of Peace, Peace Flame or the Children's Peace Monument. Memories come and it's a good moment to think about what we have done (and still do) as a society.

What pops into people's mind when one thinks of the country Japan? Mt Fuji, Hot Spring, Kimono, the list goes on and on, and I bet a lot of people will think of Japanese Torii Gates, the beautiful architectures commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine. If you like Torii and you are planning to go to Hiroshima, don't ever miss this magnificent Torii in the sea! On the island Miyajima, there is this famous Itsukushima Shrine with an enormous Torii in the sea, and if you stay long enough and time it right, you can approach it when the tide goes out. It's currently under renovation though
8. Peace Flame

Reviewed By puchka - Bengaluru, India
This eternal flame which was lit on 1st August 1964, and located in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, is intended to keep burning in the hope of a world devoid of nuclear weapons. The pedestal holding the flame is designed in the image of two hands pressed together, palms facing the sky, pleading for peace to reign in the world. The flame can be viewed even from the gap in the Cenotaph built in straight line. A remarkable sight and must see for all tourists.
