Best Restaurants in Hiroshima 2026

How to eat well in Hiroshima at every budget, and the local dishes you shouldn't leave without trying.

By Updated Reviewed by Daniel Mercer

Hiroshima has 24+ restaurants and places to eat covered in this guide, led by Okonomimura (Okonomiyaki Village), Kanawa Floating Restaurant and Micchan Souhonten. Each entry below includes the practical details — what it costs, when to go, and how to plan around it.

Hiroshima is one of Japan's most historically significant cities, forever linked to the atomic bombing of August 6, 1945, yet reborn as a vibrant modern metropolis and a global symbol of peace and resilience. The city sits on the delta of the Ota River where six channels meet the Seto Inland Sea, giving it a lush, island-laced setting. Beyond its profound memorial sites, Hiroshima offers excellent cuisine — including the iconic layered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — beautiful Seto Inland Sea islands like Miyajima with its floating torii gate, and a warm, welcoming local culture.
