Hello,
We went to Hiroshima two days ago and were surprised by how many policemen were present in the street. Almost literaly one at every corner. We also saw a group on a boat near the atomic dome seemingly just chilling on the river.
Is there is a particular reason for this presence? Did something happen in the city?

G7
The G7 summit. Pretty much the world leaders from 7 of the most important countries in the world are there, including Biden.
Miyajima was also full of policemen a couple of days ago, all very friendly though and a group of them even cheered for me when I went for my morning run
Yes, there was the G7 summit. I recommend checking the news when you travel.

I noticed the very same. I was impressed by that. Most likely due to the G7 summit.
Kage Summit
Keep in mind about the G7 that not only is this a global event for world leaders, but the previous prime minister of Japan was assassinated fairly recently and the current PM had an attempt on him. High tension time.
