The best shopping in Hiroshima isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Peace Memorial Park and Museum and A-Bomb Dome are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Onomichi — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
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 shopping 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.
Visitors explore Hiroshima for history and peace, but every walking route ends up passing through Peace Memorial Park and Museum and A-Bomb Dome and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Onomichi — it reflects what the people of Hiroshima actually buy, make, and value.
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.
