Hiroshima is a vibrant city, full of youth. It is a literal phoenix, having risen from its ashes. While there are peace memorials all over the city, the real memorial is the city itself. It is both a testament to the horrible destruction we human beings can inflict on each other and our wonderful capacity to rebuild.
With that in mind, Hiroshima doesn’t have much to offer in terms of historic buildings but the local people are very friendly and the cuisine is outstanding. It isn’t weird like Tokyo or touristy like Kyoto; I could see myself living here someday. And there are plenty of people my age here, so maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
got pictures?
And they manufacture Zoom-Zoom!
