Hiroshima (Japan) - Wink Travel Guide

Is an industrial city of wide boulevards and criss-crossing rivers, located along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.

Although many only know it for the horrific split second on August 6, 1945 when it became the site of the world's first atomic bomb attack, it is now a modern cosmopolitan city with excellent cuisine and a bustling nightlife.

Those expecting to step off the Shinkansen into a pile of smoldering rubble will be in for a surprise, as Hiroshima has all the ferroconcrete and blinking neon of any other modern Japanese city.
