What To Expect
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
Our guests will embark on a deeply moving journey through Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, immersing themselves in its profound message of peace and resilience. The tour will begin at the A-Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that serves as a haunting reminder of the events of August 6, 1945. They will explore the Peace Memorial Museum, encountering vivid exhibits of artifacts, photographs, and survivor stories that reveal the human impact of the bombing. At the Children’s Peace Monument, they can reflect on Sasaki’s story and contribute their own folded cranes as a gesture of peace. Guests will honor lives lost at the Cenotaph for A-Bomb Victims and witness the Peace Flame, burning until nuclear weapons are abolished. They will also ring the Peace Bell, symbolizing hope and harmony. Guided insights will highlight Hiroshima’s journey of recovery and advocacy for peace. Time for reflection within the park’s serene atmosphere will make this an unforgettable and meaningful experience.
Atomic Bomb Dome
The A-Bomb Dome, or Genbaku Dome, is one of Hiroshima's most iconic and haunting landmarks, preserved as a stark reminder of the devastating atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. Originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, this structure was one of the few buildings near the epicenter to survive the blast, though it was severely damaged. Its skeletal remains have since been carefully maintained as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing the resilience of Hiroshima’s people and their commitment to peace. Visitors to the A-Bomb Dome can walk around the structure, observing its preserved state, and reflect on the immense destruction caused by nuclear weapons. It stands as a powerful testament to the horrors of war and a call to action for global nuclear disarmament, offering a profound and sobering experience for all who visit.

3.00John and Kazuko were very lovely, knowledgeable guides. Given John's mobility issues, the morning progress was slower than we expected. He therefore recommended the fast ferry from Itsukushima to the Peace Park to fit everything in, although he did warn us that we would be unlikely to make the Garden or the Castle and we did not. Unfortunately, having agreed to the fast ferry option, he informed us that the cost of the ride was not an inclusion, moreover we were required to pay his ticket. We were unaware. This is not stated under "Inclusions and Exclusions" in the "Know Before You Go" section, and if company policy is for the guide's fast ferry fare to be paid by the guests, we believe the guests should know beforehand, not at the last minute when under pressure to complete the day. Otherwise, John and Kuzko are the consummate double act! One provides deep background, the other more recent foreground based on deep personal family experience. There could be no better guiding composition!

5.00We had a very thorough and well informed tour of Hiroshima and beautiful Miyajima. Gajender was very knowledgeable and took care of everything so we didn't have to navigate transportation or tickets and could just enjoy the tour. He took us to some temples we never would have otherwise found, and also took some great pictures of our group. Highly recommend!
Kazuko was simply...

5.00Kazuko was simply AMAZING! From the first confirmation text, the abundance of knowledge about Miyajima and Hiroshima, the personal tie she had to Hiroshima, the different options she gave us about every possible opportunity for the day. She truly exceeded my expectations in a VERY BIG WAY! I am forever grateful for the chance to have had her for a guide! She brought such a warmth and vitality to our day. I certainly could not have asked for more!!! She was FANTASTIC!!!!
Excellent guide! Would recommend
