Very safe. The Peace Memorial Museum is moving and can be intense for young children — preview and pace it. Tame deer roam Miyajima too.

☀️ Best time to visit

Spring and autumn; pair the Peace Memorial with a Miyajima day trip.

🎉 Seasonal events

Peace Memorial Ceremony and evening lantern floating on the river (Aug 6); autumn foliage on Miyajima (Nov).
