The food scene in Hiroshima is best discovered on foot — walk between Peace Memorial Park and Museum, A-Bomb Dome and Miyajima Island and Itsukushima Shrine to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Onomichi for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Hiroshima is a city reborn, where the solemn Peace Memorial Park and the vibrant modern downtown coexist as a powerful testament to resilience. Walking here is both a deeply moving and uplifting experience.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided food tour route in Hiroshima. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Peace Memorial Park and Museum — a profound museum documenting the 1945 atomic bombing with survivors' testimonies, artifacts, and the eternal flame for peace, A-Bomb Dome — the skeletal ruins of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, preserved exactly as it stood after the 1945 atomic blast, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Miyajima Island and Itsukushima Shrine — a vermilion Shinto shrine built over tidal flats with a floating torii gate, reached by a short ferry through the Inland Sea, plus hidden gems like Onomichi — a hillside temple walk accessible by train, with 25 temples connected by a scenic path overlooking the Seto Inland Sea and Okonomimura — a multi-story building near Hondori with dozens of tiny stalls each making Hiroshima-style layered okonomiyaki.
Use this page as a starting point for a Hiroshima walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Hiroshima. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
While Hiroshima is best known for history and peace, stops like Peace Memorial Park and Museum and A-Bomb Dome sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Onomichi where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
Hiroshima is flat and well-suited for walking, but rent a bicycle from the city's share system to cover more ground between the Peace Park and Shukkeien Garden.
April for cherry blossoms around the Peace Park or October through November for comfortable temperatures and autumn foliage on Miyajima.
