Unfortunately you probably won't, but I will warn you that you won't be able to see enough in one visit. I would have to spend years in Japan if I wanted to explore it fully. Unfortunately it sounds like their borders have been pretty tight thanks to Covid and I think Shogo even covored why they might use covid to keep things this way.

Whenever I tell someone that “I grew up in Hiroshima,” many people would look sad and say “I’m sorry…” Preserving and passing on the memories of the horrifying wars and the a-bomb is one of Hiroshima’s duties in this world, but that’s not the only characteristic of my home town.

Me: "Kagura... Why does that sound so familiar..." Shogo: "By the way... [Insert Gintama reference here]" Me: "Ah. Yep, that's why." So, it's a ritual about devotion to gods.

Shogo, until about WWII, lobster and oysters were thought of as peasant food in the US. In fact, lobster was common in prisons and the prisoners complained that having to eat it was "cruel and unusual punishment." Now in the US, they are prized foods and are prepared in many different ways. Thanks for your perspectives on Hiroshima!

Oysters in america are real popular, especially around coastal areas and harbors. Many species from Florida up to Canada and even west coast and gulf oysters as well. Charleston, SC has a lot of raw bars with many varieties.

@@wayneho6458 you only get food poisoning from bad or questionable oysters. The naturally detox their environment and if you make sure they are in clean water before consumed you'll be fine. I dont doubt in other countries they are and here in America they are heavily regulated. Restaurants are also required in SC to keep tags of oysters they sell in case anything does happen.

When I lived in Japan, my friends and I visited Hiroshima during Haruyasumi as part of a roving vacation from Hiroshima to Kyoto, on to Tokyo before returning home in Kanazawa. On the first day we visited the A Bomb museum and the next day we went to Miyajima. The day spent at the island was incredibly calming and peaceful, especially in light of the intensity of the day before. We walked up the entire mountain on foot and greatly enjoyed the beautiful landscape and shrines, though we did take the rope way back down. I must full heartedly agree that if you visit Hiroshima, then a visit to Miyajima is a must. Hiroshima was a beautiful and wonderful place to start our vacation and I cannot wait to return someday.

I've been to Hiroshima and was blown away by how beautiful a city it is. I've had two of the delicacies you described, seen the dome, the museum, peace memorial and visited Miyajima. I had a wonderful time and would love to go back one day.

I went to Hiroshima as a professor and part of peace course. What I enjoyed the most was going to the shrines at edge of town. It was incredible place beautiful natural setting and the shrines integrated as one. If I ever go back to Hiroshima I will go back to those shrines.

I love Hiroshima. had a daytrip there in 2016. Hiroshimayaki is one of my favourite foods, and Miyajima is so peaceful (but mind the deers as they want your ice cream XD). The city itself is one of a kind, the trams, the castle, the huge areas make it unique. I wish to go back for more time once.

On Miyajima one deer has been so hungry - It had wanted to eat my guide book. The view from the top of Mt. Misen is awesome. I have walked through the city Hiroshima instead of taking the tramways... To see more of the daily life of the people. Thank you, Shogo, for sharing your video with us.

So happy you mentioned that the manju have other fillings. I’ve tried to like red bean paste, but could never get past the texture.

Interesting and informative video, thanks Shogo-san!

You deserve 10 million subscribers, Shogo-san. You are an amazing person and these videos are super useful for anyone looking forward to visiting Japan.

Hiroshima and Kyoto are my most favourite prefectures in Japan. Cannot wait to go back.

Shogo, you made me laugh out loud before even starting the video. I loved the title on this one.

Ahhhh, I remember my cousin in Tokyo showing me Okonomiyaki and it was a great meal and experience. Did not realise there were two versions, so hopefully a future Japan trip will let me experience the Hiroshima one.

Ah lovely video as usual! I love your very informative guides; my friend and I went to Hiroshima and Miyajima in 2017. We ate at the okonomiyaki building, got the maple manju fresh (but I was chased by a deer who wanted a bite) and even saw a tortoise escaping a bar on Nagerakawa (I'm not kidding). It is one of my favorite places that I've visited in Japan and I love the downtown view of the river as well! Such a lovely city and really easy to navigate.

I've been to Miyajima in summer 2017, that was such a great day! Thank you Shogo for bringing back all those memories 😍

Thanks for giving us the inside scoop on Hiroshima!

In San Francisco, oysters are a big part of our local seafood scene. Raw, or "oysters on the half-shell" are served all over the place but the two most common are "oyster bars" which are kind of like a sushi bar but with an American style and that serves all kinds of "catch of the day" cooked seafood dishes. The other, are bars. Many drinking establishments in San Francisco serve oysters as a "Happy Hour" offering. "Happy Hour" is traditionally very early in the evening at about the time people get off work between roughly 5pm and 7pm and sometimes as late as 8. $1 Oyster Happy Hours are typical offering.

Went on tour with my band to Japan and our good friend and label owner lives in Hiroshima. Miyajima is beautiful! I love and miss Japan so much.

I've always wanted to visit Onomichi, but now it looks like I have more to look forward to when I visit Hiroshima. Thanks for another great video.

Awesome video, Shogo. Learned new things about Hiroshima and I'm really interested. The city is still primarily tied to the WW2 tragedy and I hope that changes soon. will definitely visit your hometown someday

Excellent advice sir! I hope to run into you today in Hiroshima!

Man, I wish I knew about rabbit island four years ago, when I was in Hiroshima. I did visit Itsukushima though! I also saw Komagataki waterfall before taking a stroll on mount Mitaki, that was a delightful day too. Love your videos, keep it up!

Wow the food you spoke about sounds delicious! Not to mention everything else! Hiroshima seems like a great place to visit

I am planning a trip to Hiroshima in April. I'm really looking forward to it. Thank you so much for these recommendations.

Super interesting video, Shogo! Keep up the great work 🤗

Great video!

Thank you for this video. My mother's family is from Hiroshima, and I'm finally getting to visit, and meet the family. Now I know some great places to check out.

When I was a kid (in Italy) I used to "catch" oysters (i.e. cut them from the rocks) and eat them raw with a sprinkle of lemon juice. They're not uncommon, but tend to be pricey in restaurants.

The Nagarekawa district looks interesting.

9:13 Huge fan of gintama but I'm also really into japanese culture as well as japanese language so i heard about the Hiroshima kagura before and def going to visit Hiroshima on my second trip to Japan

Lots of oysters here in Australia. If you ever get here, I'd be delighted to take you to a restaurant to try them. Absolutely loved Miyajima when I visited in 2017. Went at high tide, was simply amazed, and a great way to see a different side to Hiroshima. Thank you SO much for posting a link to "Okonomimura". I couldn't find it at the time, but it's on my must-go places next time I'm in Hiroshima. Thank you too for another wonderful video!

Living in Hiroshima now. Thank you so much for showing the bright side of this beautiful city! It's so much more than the A-bomb dome and the atomic bomb detonation is an important but not the only fact from it's rich history. It would be so nice if people had not only sad associations with Hiroshima.. someday

Love your videos man, they are very informative !

Going to visit Okunoshima in April. Can't wait!

Thank you for this video! I didn't know there was so much other than the memorial there. My fiancee loves oysters and we will probably now add it to our honeymoon in 2023. Please keep sharing your local knowledge ❤

That’s one of the sneakiest thumbnails I've ever seen 🙂

Actually Osyters are pretty common where I live (Italy/Sardinia), they're amazing! And yes we're pretty concerned about the fact that they can give food poisoning but man, they're so good!!!!!

I loved visiting Hiroshima the people there are so resilient and friendly, the food is delicious and there are some beautiful places to explore. Although I'm a bit sad I never got to visit rabbit island! perhaps another time

LOL Love the title of the video and the thumbnail! Great video as always though!

I visited Hiroshima on my first trip to Japan, I think it is one of the most lovely cities I have ever visited. It has a very unique and charming atmosphere... hard to describe just by words. Also, my nihongo sensei is from Hiroshima :D

That was really beautiful, I think they made a model of that ocean Shrine in Epoct in Orlando. I didn't know it was a gate for a God Island that's very cool to know. That food looks so good and I love udon noodles!

I really enjoy your videos . A japan fan from Belgium

I've been to Hiroshima and Miyajima twice. I love this city, and I want to see more of it. Now, I have more places and things to do on my next trip! ありがとうございました!

Thank you, very interesting! I live in Osaka so I’ll make my way over to Hiroshima in the fall!

Shogo, thanks for this look at Hiroshima. A couple of comments: 1. I would love to eat Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. It looks great. 2. Here in the US, oysters are very popular. I like the fried oysters best. 3. I don't like bean paste either. I am glad that momiji manju are made with other creams. 4. Ookunoshima looks nice. I think it's appropriate that rabbits live on the island since they suffered there from human cruelty. 5. I would definitely go to Hiroshima. I think it's a beautiful city and I would also visit the memorials as well. We need to remember that day in 1945 so that it will NEVER happen again!

I'm from Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, and the seafood from my region are very famous in my country. Even though we have good oysters (they are usually eaten raw with lemon juice), I prefer other seafood. Congratulations for your channel!🥰🙋

The ropeway's great but if you can make the time (and are fit enough) do the whole walk from the base to the peak of Misen. The whole walk is great.

I went to Hiroshima back in 2019 and would absolutely recommended it. Also i would visit the town of Kure just outside of Hiroshima, home of the Yamamato super battleship and JSDF navy museum. It was my first mainland japan destination and is truly underrated

When I homestayed in Hiroshima during my highschool days, Miyajima was one of my favorite spots during the fall as the autumn leaves changes color and the best momijimanju. I also loved the Okomiyaki

Very interesting video as always ^-^ just one question, can you still use the shamoji for scooping rice or are they strictly decorative objects?

13:55 I've been to that torii gate. Also been to the top of Mt Misen. It was during a port visit in 04 or 05 and the guys I was with underestimated the climb. We made it all the way to the top, but by the time we got there everyone was closed and we had to also walk all the way down. At least now though I can say I have climb to the top of a mountain starting all the way from sea level.

Love you and your videos Love from India make more videos

Oooh! Very crispy kimono you got there!

The "Kagura"-named character in my anime-watching history is from Azumanga Daioh (and, being blessed/cursed with an inquisitive mind, I looked up her name and discovered its meaning). A wonderful video, as always. Thank you!

So good to see it (I am poor so not visiting) as it seems like a nice place to visit.

ya when i went to Hiroshima, i already did my research on the bomb history Hadashi no Gen was where I started and then i read some other stuff from there because my literature class was speculative fiction. Many of the material we read were about post apocalypse nuclear disasters. So hiroshima was a scaled-down, real-world understanding of such things. What i really liked was the city. they had a lot of things there. especially the okonomiyaki. i like the osaka okonomiyaki but my favorite is the hiroshima style okonomiyaki. Its kinda like kyoto in a sense. people expect one thing but the teramachi arcades are better than a lot of places in tokyo. they had a manga store & game center. I could live there. same idea with hiroshima. i only spent a day there but i'd probably enjoy living there more than tokyo. They had everything i needed and the city is similar to my hometown. they even have street cars like in my own hometown. my friend is working as a teacher there but he was someone who wanted to be in kobe or osaka. i was so jealous when he got assigned there to work.

Good to know the history of certain local foods

Where I used to live in Humboldt County, California, we had an oyster festival! When I worked at a restaurant I worked at the oyster festival in the summer too for the restaurant. Oysters are also really popular in Oregon where I currently live!

I enjoyed hiroshima even though it rained a lot 😅 my personal favorite was miyajima and the absolut delicious momiji manjuus 🤤 next time I will visit the okonomiyaki town, thanks for the tip 👍

Love going to Hiroshima! I’ve taken my students to Japan, and I always try and include Hiroshima in my trips. We’ve done almost all of the things you’ve mentioned except visit the bars. My students are in high school so we can’t go. We’ve also never visited the rabbit island, must keep it in mind if we have extra time during our trip next year. We’ve visited Miyajima but have never had time to do the hike up the mountain. 😢Oh, and the Kagura I thought of wasn’t the one you mentioned, it was the one from InuYasha, although I know which one you mean. I’ve only seen a few episodes of Gintama. Sorry! 😅 Anyway, thank you for this video! I always enjoy them!

Thank you for the information. Wanted to visit this November, but will visit soon. Love raw oysters.

I would love to visit Japan some day. Your videos, I find to be quite informative. Thank you

Just across the Pacific from you here in Washington State I grew up eating oysters right out of the shell on the beach, now prefer them lightly grilled in the shell with diced tomato, so good!

Where I am from, Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is a place where people love oysters with a passion. Every year, there is an oyster fest that goes on, and although it always smells... interesting, it is a joy to go eat oysters and meet new people. Also I just wanted to say, that this channel is by far one of my favorites and I hope I can go to Japan someday. :)

Shogo-San I actually have an uncle who moved to Hiroshima and began a life there!

That okonomiyaki looks so amazing. OMW to Hiroshima to get one!

I'm so sorry Shogo, not to distract from your interesting talk but you have the most AMAZING SKIN!!! It's positively glowing! Must be all those oysters! ;-)

I visited Hiroshima in 2019 and visited for the usual reasons, but I was happy to find it very prosperous and clean city. Okonomiyaki-Mura was the best place to eat!

The Hiroshima style okonomiyaki I had in Miyajima was unbelievable. Even for where and how it was prepared and served (sort of home kitchen by an old lady very fond of baseball (yakyu)). There is alse the third okonomiyaki style: the Tokyo one (more monjiyaki). One attraction you did not mention in Hiroshima is"PizzaRiva! Is one of the best place anywhere for pizza! The owner (and his father) won a Pizza Olympics" in Naples, where they trained, against local and foreigner "pizzaioli". I have been there three times, and every time a wonderful experience.

Now I have a reason to go back! My first trip, three years ago, was solely related to the A-bomb. And was not a comfortable experience, to be honest. It would be nice to return just to relax and enjoy the place.

Yaaassss first topic is good 😋 about oysters in Latvia there’s some places where you can order them or just buy them yourself and make at home but I never tried them. I don’t think that I want to try them either bc of the possibility to get sick easily as I heard 😅 though I ate oyster creamy soup that was really delicious 🤤

Beautiful city I was there in 2003 !

In western canada you can often find raw-oysters at restaurants, but mostly just during certain seasons or based on availability. In Vancouver there is one restaurant with a famous oyster bar (where the oyster shuckers were often top world competitors) called Joe Fortes. It's been around for ages. We have this rule about eating raw oysters, which refers to the 'red-tide' phenomenon. It's easy to remember, only eat raw oysters in months with an 'r'.

Shogo is so awesome!!

Out of that list I ticked off the Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki and visiting Miyajima when I was there. I'd also recommend the Mazda museum if you're into cars, but its guided tour only and you need to pre-book.

Here in Western Vancouver Island BC there's a ton of Oysters. They export them from here all over the place. Good video, 😀

Oysters are pretty common in Turkey too (in regions neighboring Aegean and Black sea) we never eat them raw tho. Instead, we put cooked rice in it w lots of seasoning and squize some lemon on top of it mmm I'm hungry

Hiroshima has been healing for years. The best thing we Americans can do if we *truly* wish to help in the healing of not only Japan, but ourselves, is to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki and appreciate all that these cities have to offer. Don't waste your time and breath by simply saying "I'm Sorry". The ghosts of the past are the ones that have to work on their karma. Our duty is to go on with our lives and to live better than our Ancestors did.

Shogo, quite surprised you didn't mention Kure.

Just because you asked, Shogo-san, in Italy and France we eat them raw with no sauces or else. Some might dip them in a vinegar & onion sauce but there’re so many varieties that we prefer to eat them as they are to better enjoy the different flavors. I’d like to try them deep fried or grilled. Enjoyed beautiful scenery of Hiroshima. Thanks for sharing.

Too late. Already been to Hiroshima. I visited the Peace Memorial Park, rang the bell, saw the dome (architected by my countryman Jan Letzel), visited the Peace Memorial Museum (that was really hard and emotionally overwhelming in the negative sense). I didn’t get to see anything outside the city center, as it was just one day visit on our way back from Fukuoka, but it was unforgettable.

I love Miyajima! one of the highlights of my Japan trip!

Hmmm not familiar with that Kagura, but I do know of another. First in mind is Inuyasha. =p Seriously, I am finding myself more curious with each video like this I watch from you.

I am staying in Osaka for 4 days and Kyoto for 4 more. I plan on taking a day trip to Hiroshima during that time. I hope I can squeeze in most of these suggestions. I am going for the tragic historical sites though.

The shrine reminds me of St. Mere-Eglise which is a town and cathedral set on a flat by the ocean and high and low tides restrict access to it.

Usually oysters in France are a delicacy for the end of the year festivities (Christmas Eve or New Years Eve) and usually a seasonal gourmet from what I remember. You can find them through the year, but usually it is kept for special events (because it is pricey).

Hello Shogo San can you make review about Japanese sword smith’s

Excellent video and recommendations, I am so excited to visit, however, I have been waiting until the mandates for masks and social distancing are removed to travel freely throughout Japan, thank you so much Shogo for the great details on the video, I subscribed because I hope you can continue traveling and recommending other great places around Japan, such as Nagasaki, or Fukuoka, or Gifu, I look forward to hearing more from you!

It is true that millions of things happened in Hiroshima before the atom bomb dropped.

SAKE!,,, dunno how to say but its good 6. Hiroshima castle 7. HIRODEN! -> just try, i love it hahahaha

The bunnies are actually one of the things I was most looking forward to already :D And of course the food, except for maybe oysters. They exist here in the Netherlands as well, but I avoid them. Mostly I want to go see anything nature and culture related, so thanks for giving me quite a few fun options :D

Actually, the rabbit situation is really pretty sad. The island can't sustain that many rabbits. The grass is almost nonexistent from bring grazed down to the root. Most of the rabbits are starving and many are sick or injured. They come up to people because people bring them food. Lennon the Bunny made an insightful video on it.
