You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences.

@JoanP cheers for the info on Hiroshima. I know it will be tight but i really wanted to go pay my respects at the atomic dome and peace memorial. Have you ever been to Okonomimura in Hiroshima at all? heard the food is awesome so wanted to check it out if its accessible?
In Osaka apart from a morning visit to the Aquarium we have a free day. Any suggestions on what to see or do? We will have already been to the castle, science museum, dotonbori area and also explored around the Umeda station area.
any help or suggestions much appreciated.
