You will absolutely love Hiroshima, and it was luckily not as touristy as I feared it would be. The Atomic Bomb Museum is really powerful, I expect that you will be very moved, I know I was. I recommend that if you have the time you also take the ferry out to Miyajima outside of Hiroshima, it's a very iconic place. :)
