You can soon fly directly to Hiroshima, Japan from Hanoi, Vietnam via Vietjet

Vietjet announces a new route connecting Hiroshima with Hanoi. It is the first-ever direct service linking Vietnam with Japan’s Hiroshima and the airline’s eighth route between the two countries.

Located in southwestern Japan, Hiroshima is a strategic point linking Kansai and Kyushu, and serving as a hub for businesses with a developed marine economy and heavy industry. A symbol of Japan’s strong resurgence after World War 2, the city of Hiroshima offers many cultural attractions including UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine (famed for its floating Torii gate) and Peace Memorial Park. It is also home to Hiroshima Castle and an incredible local cuisine.
