Dining out in Portland, Oregon and other Food Travels
If you visit Hiroshima, there are two major free things to do in Hiroshima you should not miss out on. Of all the unique things you should see here, you should visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, all of which is free if you do not go inside the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (which has an entrance fee). You can also enjoy the views of Hiroshima Castle for free. You can even easily do both in the same day – here’s a peek at what you might see from my visit in late November 2018.
Although in Japan they don’t quite celebrate Christmas like we do – it is more of a romantic holiday then a family holiday since that’s what they do for New Year’s while we tend to focus more on friends and romantic partners for New Year’s – they do have holiday lights. When I was in Hiroshima at the end of December, I took a walk in the evening during my brief stay there to enjoy their free winter illuminations. Now I’m sharing them with you.
Here is a holiday tree by the mall right next to my hotel in Hiroshima. If you stay in Hiroshima I really liked my hotel, the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima, thanks to its easy walking distance to Hiroshima Castle, Hiroshima Museum of Art, this mall and the Hiroshima Bus Center (which also had a food court area) were right next door so gave me easy access to two more floors of restaurants besides the 8 within the hotel.
Of course the hotel itself had its own Christmas tree too. Notice how both of these trees are so perfectly set up for a photo for… one? One pair of wings, and one chair?
Along Peace Boulevard that had parks between the streets Hiroshima had just set up the Hiroshima Dreamination. According to the brochure I found in the hotel lobby, the display includes 1.4 million LED lights
