What To Expect
Atomic Bomb Dome
When Japan joined the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1992, people including a-bombed survivors began to raise their voice in support of making the A-bomb Dome a World Heritage Site. A national campaign to collect signatures conducted by the citizens of Hiroshima was a success, and it was designated as a national historical site in June 1995 and registered on the list of World Heritage Sites in 1996 as a symbol calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons and for world peace.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
On August 6, 1949, with enactment of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial City Construction Law, it was decided that the entire Nakajima District would be devoted to "peace memorial facilities," and that was the beginning of what is now Peace Memorial Park. The park covers approximately 122,100 square meters. It was designed by Kenzo Tange, a professor at Tokyo University, and three others, whose proposal was selected through a design competition that drew 145 proposals. At the south edge of the park is a line of three buildings: the East Building and the Main Building of the Peace Memorial Museum, and the International Conference Center Hiroshima.

4.00The two main places of interest in Hiroshima are covered with enough time for self exploration as well. The guide was awesome as well. The okonomiyaki experience was a let down for me as it was not fresh. It was served before I took the seat.
Nice Tour one should not Miss.

5.00The experience is fantastic. You will see the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park with the museum, and all tickets are included. Lunch is included. The ferry to Miyajima island tickets are included and everything is done by bus. This is ideal if you are staying in Hiroshima. For other places (i.e.: Osaka or Kyoto) you need to add approximately U$S 200 per person for the Shinkansen train (bullet train).
