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.

5.00Kazuko was wonderful and tailored a perfect day for us sharing her city’s tragic history, to present day hopefulness. Miyajima excursion also great-she expertly steered us thru the crowds and got us off the beaten path. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00We met our guide Kazuko at our hotel. She was extremely nice and told us a lot of interesting stories about Miyajima Island, the Itsukushima Shrine, Otorii Gate and after we went back to Hiroshima of course a lot about the Atomic bomb Memorial Site. For lunch she showed us a place with a Sushi carousel which was great fun, especially for the kids. Kazuko was - as said before - extremely nice and knowledgeable. It was - if you are able to be say that about such an emotionally moving place - a great experience. We can highly recommend Kazuko!

5.00Our tour guide, Kazuko, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We travelled for the day from Tokyo on the Shinkansen train. Before our journey began, we received a What’s App message welcoming us and confirming our meeting plans. We were met at the train station as planned and we shared a very engaging day together. First, we took the ferry to Miyajima Island to see the Sika deer, the beautiful Itsukushima Shrine and Torii Gate. Then we travelled to the Peace Park to experience the history and remember the lives lost. Walking around the grounds, we spent time at key areas. What impressed me was the history and customs shared with us at places like the Peace Bell, the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound, Cenotaph for A-bomb Victims, the Peace Flame, and the Atomic Bomb Dome. We spent time at the Peace Memorial Museum. We were moved with Kazuko sharing her mother’s story from when she was only 15 years old that day. A reflective and powerfully moving day but one filled also with hope for the future. Highly recommend this tour.
