you can also visit Daishoin temple, one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism. It features a variety of buildings, statues and other religious objects for visitors to admire.
There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the island.
Oyster landed in Hiroshima is very big and thick tasty, and Hiroshima is the number one of landing of oysters in Japan. There are some oyster shops that serve grilled oysters and vinegared fresh oysters to visitors in the Miyajima Island.
Okonomiyaki is the most famous as Hiroshima soul food, cooked with superposition of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg and noodles, which is soba or udon, on thin flour dough spread like crepe.

We really enjoyed our tour of Peace park with Kazumi! We loved hearing her insights and talked about so many interesting things along the way. She also walked us to our lunch spot to enjoy some delicious okonomiyaki while she helped prepare us for our self tour at Miyajima with a map, how to navigate the ferry, and our train stops home. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. We traveled from Kyoto for the day and are so thankful that we did. We highly recommend a tour with her! She is the best.
