Hiroshima has a sad history but, the town has risen up from one of the worst tragedies in human history to becoming one of the best city that offers vibrant nightlife as well as beautiful scenery, entertainment and culture. While Mt. Haigamine offers one of Japan's most gorgeous city nightscape, you can eat Okonomiyaki at one of the many restaurants that open only after dusk at Okonomimura or walk along the lantern filled roads at Machiya Street. So after traveling around Hiroshima during the day, don't sleep just yet and make sure to check out these night spots as well.

25 okonomiyaki shops are all tightly packed together in one building!
