We only have 24 hours to see as much as possible in Hiroshima and nearby Miyajima Island (Itsukushima Shrine). In this video, we share whether you actually need 2 days to visit Japans historic city or whether 1 day is enough. Will we be rushed? What will we have to skip? What would we do different in hindsight? We also cover tips for how to get around Hiroshima in general, with various public transport.

👉 Official website for the fast boat we took to Miyajima. It seems the online booking is only available on the Japanese part of the website? Maybe I'm missing something. Odd. But here's the link.
