Why are there deer living in Hiroshima, the city of the atomic bomb?

I never expected Hiroshima to have so many attractions and activities to enjoy. I initially went to see the Atomic Bomb Dome, a remnant of the destruction caused by the atomic bomb, and was surprised by the large number of tourists, especially Westerners. The streets were bustling with various types of streetcars, making it fun to choose and ride them. After visiting the Atomic Bomb Dome and Hiroshima Castle, the day was already over. The next day, I took a ferry to Miyajima and highly recommend seeing the red torii gate floating on the sea. On this island, deer roam freely, delighting tourists with their charm. I tried Hiroshima's specialty, okonomiyaki, but to be honest, it wasn't quite to my taste. Hiroshima, a city marked by the tragedy of the atomic bomb, now appears incredibly peaceful, as if that day never happened. Only those paying respects to the victims seem to remember the horrors of that time.

Miyajima

Here’s what it feels like to explore Japan’s magical clash of history and nature: Hiroshima's ground zero and Miyajima Island, where street food, shrines, and wild deer rule the day 🌸✨ Must-See Places Guide: 1. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park & Museum (1-2-1 Otemachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima-shi): Stand in the heart of history at ground zero. Walk quietly through the park, the iconic Atomic Bomb Dome, and the deeply moving museum—bring tissues and an open mind. 2. Miyajima Island (Hiroshima ken, Hatsukaichi city, Miyajima cho; Open 06:30–17:30): Hop on the ferry from Hiroshima port (costs about ¥180 each way, departs every 15-30 minutes) — worth every minute for the jaw-dropping views as you arrive. 3. Itsukushima Shrine & The Floating Torii Gate: Don’t miss snapping a pic of the massive red gate rising from the sea (your shot: bright sun, city meets mountains, torii steals the show!). Inside, wander lush temple walkways and soak in the spiritual vibes. 4. Miyajima Street Foods: Try grilled oysters, momiji manju (maple leaf-shaped cakes), and fresh eel skewers from stalls around the ferry terminal. Pro tip: Come hungry! 🍡 5. Miyajima Deer: These friendly wild deer wander everywhere—watch your snacks, they’re pro snack thieves! Travel Hacks: Getting Around: Use local trams & ferries (Suica/Pasmo IC cards accepted). Ferry to Miyajima is fast and scenic. Food Musts: Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki—find it near the peace park, plus tons of snack options in Miyajima’s market alley. Best Time: Go early for fewer crowds, stay late for sunset at the torii gate. Pack light, keep coins handy for snack stalls, and respect island etiquette (don’t touch the deer!). #JapanExplorer #HiroshimaHistory #MiyajimaMagic #StreetFoodJapan #TravelWithTrip
