Going to Bayside Beach, Mikumarikyo Forest Park, Bungo Channel, and Sandan-kyo is popular too.
We also recommend outdoor activities, such as driving around the islands of the Setouchi area and Shimanami cycling.
You can watch the Hiroshima Toyo Carp play baseball at Hiroshima Stadium as well!
If you're into sports, check out a game at the Hiroshima Green Arena.

There are other foods, such as oysters, a specialty in the Setouchi area, anagomeshi (eel rice), Onomichi ramen, navy curry from Kure, and horumon tempura.
We recommend sipping on some wine at Hiroshima Miyoshi Winery, shown at 4:19 in the video.
