Timeline
18:38
Walk up to Hijiyama Park to find a quiet spot. The park sits to the south of the museum, offering a clear view westward. Arrive here before the sun dips below the horizon to catch the final moments of daylight over the city.
19:38
Head back down toward the city center for dinner. Tachikoma is a tiny, friendly okonomoyaki shop where locals go. It is open in the evening, so you can enjoy a filling meal of Hiroshima-style savory pancakes and a cold beer.
20:23
End the night with a cocktail at Bar Upstairs Hiroshima. Located just a short walk from your dinner spot, this modern bar on the top floor of an office building is perfect for winding down after a full evening.
Local tip
The walk from the museum to Hijiyama Park is about 4 minutes. From the park, it is a longer walk back down to the city center for dinner, so plan your timing accordingly. Bars like Bar Upstairs are open late, but check specific opening hours if you plan to arrive very late.
