Hiroshima is a city that will surprise you with how vibrant and green it feels today. As you stroll along its wide, tree-lined boulevards, it’s hard to imagine that just decades ago, almost no building was left standing here. The year 2026 brings many changes to Hiroshima<\/strong> that are worth preparing for. The main tower of the local castle has been permanently closed since spring, the famous pagoda on Miyajima Island is hidden behind scaffolding, and the Peace Memorial Museum is drawing such record crowds<\/strong> that during this year’s Obon holiday, it only admitted visitors with online reservations. On the bright side, you’ll find the brand-new Minamoa Station, where trams roll straight into the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For international visitors, Hiroshima holds a fascinating architectural connection that guidebooks surprisingly rarely mention<\/strong>. The iconic A-Bomb Dome was actually designed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Czech architect Jan Letzel from N\u00e1chod<\/strong>. President Petr Pavel personally visited this memorial in July 2025, yet according to the Chugoku Shimbun newspaper, fewer than ten percent of prefecture residents know that a Czech designed the building. It’s a remarkable piece of international history on the other side of the world that adds an entirely different depth to visiting the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the tourism boom, Japan is working to better regulate crowds, so expect several new fees and rules<\/strong>. From July 2026, a departure tax of 3,000 yen (approximately \u20ac17) is charged when leaving the country, the prefecture has introduced a new accommodation tax, and on trams you must tap your transit card both when boarding and exiting. The good news is that with the regional Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass for 17,000 yen (around \u20ac95), you’ll save money on the shinkansen<\/strong>, as it pays for itself with just one round trip from Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
