Hiroshima is no Tokyo, but it is still rife with history and culture, dating back to as early as the 16^th century, during the Sengoku period. While the city became known worldwide on Aug 6, 1945, Hiroshima has also become one of Japan's three main sake-producing cities, with about 50 different sake brewers to boot. Take a trip to Hiroshima and try the city's unique sake at their well-known sake town of Saijo. Otherwise, there's always the city's most famous dish, their own rendition of Okonomiyaki, which is similar to the original Osaka-styled ones save for the addition of noodles.

Tickets are currently unavailable, and prices will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned for updates.
