Japan
Hiroshima is a major city in western Japan, with a population of 2,067,591. It sits on the Seto Inland Sea and serves as an important regional centre in the Chugoku area of the country.
Most international and domestic air travellers arrive via Hiroshima Airport (HIJ). Hiroshima has access to the Seto Inland Sea, but there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips are not a central part of a typical visit.
