Miyajima/Hiroshima City
The first model course introduced here allows you to visit both Miyajima and the Atomic Bomb Dome, both World Heritage sites in Hiroshima.
Access to Miyajima
There are two ways to get to Miyajima-guchi from Hiroshima Station: JR or streetcar. By streetcar, take the tram bound for Miyajima-guchi from the tram stop at the south exit of Hiroshima Station.anago-meshiue-no Ueno (sushi wrapped in fried egg)
The best place to eat on Miyajima is Anago-meshi at "Anago-meshi Ueno's ". Founded in 1901, it is a long-established restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years. It is located just before the ferry and is popular even on weekdays when there is a long line of people waiting in line. It is also available for take-out, so it is recommended to buy anago meshi and eat it on Miyajima.
We are particular about the ingredients and cook conger eel that has passed through our chef's strict screening process. The fluffy conger eel marinated in the secret sauce that has been passed down for many years is exquisite. The rice is cooked in a broth made from conger eel bones and ara, and the combination of the soy sauce-based rice and the sweetly seasoned conger eel is exquisite.

Dinner was okonomiyaki!
Okonomiyaki is a must when you come to Hiroshima! There are many okonomiyaki restaurants in the center of Hiroshima City. If you are having trouble deciding where to go, I recommend "Okonomimura ". It is a building that contains about 25 okonomiyaki restaurants, and all of them cook on the iron plate in front of you.
The okonomiyaki is made right in front of your eyes, giving you a real sense of presence and allowing you to enjoy the waiting time. The hot okonomiyaki is superb, and the drinks go down a treat. We recommend this restaurant because you can enjoy the old-fashioned atmosphere, and all the restaurants are very tasty.
