5.00I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the A-Bomb and what Hiroshima stands for today. Emi did a great job leading us around and making sure we understood the history, asking if we had any questions after each stopping point. I will note, my husband and I were almost late due to the Viator leading us to the end point not the beginning. Head to Hiroshimagokoku shrine to start.
