Google MapsKomentáre (9)
Peace Park and museums are heavy but beautifully presented, the city feels peaceful. Food is great, though touristy spots get expensive.
For okonomiyaki, sit at a counter in a family-run place and watch them cook, portions are better and prices beat tourist restaurants.
Expected more nightlife, bars close early and karaoke spots can be pricey. Great daytime vibes, disappointing after dark.
Trams make getting around stupidly easy, but winters are chilly and summers sticky. Expect crowds on weekends.
Carry cash, many corner shops and street vendors don't take cards. Use 7-Eleven or post office ATMs, they accept foreign cards.
