3 Days in Hiroshima with Kids: Peace Park, Miyajima Deer & Easy Streetcars

A thoughtful Hiroshima family itinerary that balances Peace Memorial learning with age-appropriate pacing, streetcar logistics, okonomiyaki meals, and a full Miyajima day for deer, ferries, and shrine views. It is made for parents who want to save a respectful, manageable plan and fork it around children’s ages, museum depth, weather, and ferry timing.
