Hiroshima holds a unique and profound place in world history: it was the first city ever subjected to an atomic bomb attack in 1945.
In the aftermath of the devastation, local residents expressed agonizing despair, often repeating that "no flowers or trees would grow here for 75 years."
Yet, out of that suffering, Hiroshima has achieved a magnificent restoration, transforming into a vibrant City of Peace—a vital center for learning about and advocating for peace worldwide.
This essential tour offers you the opportunity to deeply explore this remarkable recovery.
You will journey to the most critical sites—the Peace Memorial Park, the Peace Memorial Museum, and the Atomic Bomb Dome—alongside a knowledgeable local guide.

What To Expect
Atomic Bomb Dome
Listening to what happened in 1945 and how the city has revitalized. The bomb dome was constructed in 1915 by construct from Czech Republic. So the building is little bit different from Japanese typical construction. Let's listen to the reason from the guide about why this bomb dome was survived from the atomic bomb, what this building is originally for, and the situation when the bomb attacked the city.
We visit the ground zero of the atomic bomb and discover more about the hospital and those people who used to work here.

5.00The Peace Park and museum are gripping and unforgettable. We must never forget the atrocity that happened here and ensure it is never repeated. I chose this tour because it was a half day and gave me time to explore other areas of Hiroshima. My guide was Kippei and we met in the Rest House next to the museum. He took me through the museum, helped me find a coin locker for my things, took photos for me and explained very clearly everything I was seeing and the significance. Kippei is a native of Hiroshima born and raised. His English is excellent and he answered all my questions patiently and knowledgeably. He also made sure I saw the areas of interest I wanted to see including the children’s museum and the hypocenter of where the bomb landed on 8-6-1945. This was the most meaningful activity I will do on this trip and I thank Kippei for making it next level.
