Located on Miyajima (translating to “shrine island”), the historical Itsukushima Shrine is an icon of Hiroshima, only a short ferry ride away from its vermillion “floating” torii gate, rising from the ocean. A shrine complex made up of several sacred structures built over the waters of the Seto Inland Sea, Itsukushima is a national treasure and UNESCO World Heritage Site that backs onto Mount Misen, offering hot springs and beautiful views from its peak. Miyajima Island is famous for serving delicious local anago (eel) and juicy Hiroshima oysters at its cozy family-run restaurants. Shamoji are Miyajima’s rice scoops, supposedly invented on the island, which in fact has the world’s largest on display. Leisurely explored on foot, Miyajima bustles with street food stalls selling sweet momiji manju (maple leaf shaped cakes filled with red bean paste) while deer roam freely amongst visitors (shamelessly angling for a bite). Encapsulated by natural beauty, visitors love Itsukushima Shrine for its stunning views and delicious local food, like a traditional Japanese feast at an overnight ryokan stay.

历史悠久的严岛神社位于宫岛（意为 "神社岛"），是广岛的标志性建筑，只需乘坐一小段渡轮，就能看到从海面上升起的朱红色 "浮动 "鸟居门。严岛神社是在濑户内海水域上建造的一个由多个神社建筑群组成的神社，是国家宝藏和联合国教科文组织世界遗产，背靠三仙山，山顶有温泉，风景优美。宫岛因其舒适的家庭餐馆提供美味的当地鳗鱼和多汁的广岛牡蛎而闻名。Shamoji 是宫岛的饭勺，据说是在岛上发明的，实际上岛上展示着世界上最大的饭勺。步行游览宫岛，街头小吃摊熙熙攘攘，售卖甜美的momiji馒头（红豆沙馅的枫叶形蛋糕），小鹿在游客中间自由穿梭（恬不知耻地觅食）。严岛神社被大自然的美景所包围，游客喜欢这里的迷人景色和美味的当地食物，比如在旅馆过夜享用传统的日式大餐。

严岛神社是建在濑户内海水域上的神社建筑群，是日本的国宝。浏览广岛的美食体验和餐厅。

Itsukushima Shrine

The capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, Hiroshima City, was completely destroyed by the tragic bombing of 1945, but has since grown out of devastation into a modern city, with only the memory of the Peace Memorial Park remaining. Backing onto the Chugoku Mountains, Hiroshima is now a modern city with six rivers flowing through its heart, sometimes called the “City of Water.” Across from the island of Shikoku, Hiroshima Prefecture and the beautiful Hiroshima Bay opens out onto the Seto Inland Sea with a smattering of smaller islands in-between. The iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Miyajima Island, formally known as Itsukushima, is home to the huge red torii gate rising from its glorious waters. 

Shelter from Shikoku and gentle wind from the inland sea makes the climate in Hiroshima Prefecture mild all year round, with great weather for producing the country’s highest quality lemons. Hiroshima Bay also grows Hiroshima’s famous oysters, enormous and succulent; they’re delicious served inside a slab of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (a savory Japanese pancake with layered ingredients). With over 50 breweries, the city of Hiroshima proudly owns the Saijo sake brewing district, protecting a fierce reputation as one of the top three sake-producing areas in Japan. Hiroshima Prefecture is also known for its delicious salt water eel, anago, drenched with a sweet soy glaze. There are also a number of local specialties within Hiroshima Prefecture. Onomichi is famous for its namesake ramen, and for being a picturesque filming location for a number of popular Japanese period films, while the ship-building port city of Kure is famous for its kaiji-kare, a special Japanese curry eaten every Friday by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force stationed along the inland sea. With access to mountains and sea, Hiroshima Prefecture is a less-traveled destination featuring a bounty of fine local foods.

广岛县的首府广岛市曾在 1945 年的惨烈轰炸中被彻底摧毁，但如今已从满目疮痍中发展成为一座现代化城市，只留下了和平纪念公园的记忆。广岛背靠中国山，现在是一座现代化城市，有六条河流从市中心流过，有时也被称为 "水之城"。广岛县与四国岛隔海相望，美丽的广岛湾向濑户内海敞开怀抱，中间夹杂着一些小岛。宫岛（正式名称为严岛）是联合国教科文组织世界遗产的标志性景点，其巨大的红色鸟居门就耸立在美丽的海面上。 

广岛县全年气候温和，四国的遮蔽和来自内海的和风使得这里成为生产全国最高品质柠檬的绝佳气候。广岛湾还出产广岛著名的牡蛎，个头巨大，肉质鲜美；将牡蛎夹在广岛风味的什锦煎饼（一种多层配料的日式咸煎饼）中食用，味道鲜美。广岛市拥有 50 多家酿酒厂，是西条清酒酿造区的骄傲，也是日本三大清酒产区之一。广岛县还以美味的盐水鳗鱼（anago）而闻名，这种鳗鱼沾着甜甜的酱油釉。广岛县还有许多地方特色美食。尾道以其同名拉面而闻名，同时也是多部热门日本时代电影的拍摄地，风景如画；而造船港口城市吴则以其 "Kaiji-kare "而闻名，这是驻扎在内海沿岸的日本海上自卫队每周五都会食用的一种特色日式咖喱。广岛县依山傍海，是一个人迹罕至的旅游胜地，拥有丰富的当地美食。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration.

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
