There is a children's peace monument: a display of art made by school children with messages of peace that's worth a look. Right beside that, there is a Peace Bell that's worth ringing. When you ste… Full review by 335rikt

Q:
We are visiting Hiroshima for a single day in October via cruise ship Celebrity Millennium. We generally prefer to use public transportation to visit historic sites, but we are not familiar with the location of the Cruise Ship Terminal and how close it is to a transit/train station. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations to visit the Peace Park or the War Memorial site and museum? Thanks.....Rob

A:
I speak Japanese and I thought the public transportation was complicated for me so I can imagine for non Japanese speakers will have more difficult time. I suggest to take a cab since the time is usually limited for those people who stop by the big ship and it's better to walk around the Peace park and feel what actually happened. The must see site there is Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and the park and the dome. To go through the museum will take about 1 hour or more. Walking around the park and to get to the Dome which is aligned to the Peace Memorial will take about another hour. Cruise ship usually have a land tour so maybe you should take one of those. Also the must see site Hiroshima area is Miyajima Island shrine which is Japanese National Treasure. It's 1/2 hour train ride and then need to take a ferry which is pleasant. That's another half and hour. In the island you can stroll around the shrine it's a small area so you only need probably 1-1.5 hour. Be aware of deer because they follow you and put their head in you bag and start to eat stuff!
Q:
Is there free parking?
A:
No! In fact, parking is quite expensive!
