Do most visitors to Hiroshima come because it was the site of the first atomic bombing?
Yes. The numbers of visitors in Hiroshima are about 10 million people per year. The city is a World Heritage site, correct? That’s correct, but there are actually two sites. One is the Atomic Bomb Dome and the other is the Miyajima Itsukushima Shrine, which has 1,400 years of history. Oysters from Hiroshima Bay are well known for their rich taste and flavor, especially in winter. You can enjoy them in different styles — grilled, pot dishes, deep-fried, in quiche. These dishes all go very well with sake. Hiroshima-na-zuke (pickled Hiroshima leaves)：are one of the three most famous Japanese leaf pickles. They have a fine taste and crisp texture. Momiji manju are in a maple-leaf shape and one of the most famous local confections of Hiroshima. The cakes are offered with a variety of fillings — custard, cream chocolate or cheese in addition to traditional sweet bean paste. At the shop, enjoy manju hot from the baking pan, an especially tasty treat. And you must try Hiroshima-style okonomiya
