Here’s an overview of your tour

Step into the heart of Hiroshima with a local, as you weave through the city's vibrant tapestry of history, culture, and untouched natural beauty. On this special 5-hour journey, your local host will lead you through an intimate exploration of Hiroshima's iconic landmarks and secret corners, each with a story to tell.

We'll start our tale at the historic Peace Memorial, a poignant site that sets the tone for our adventure.

Peace Memorial Park & Museum: Here, in the shadow of the A-Bomb Dome, we'll uncover the layers of Hiroshima's most defining moment. As we stroll through the Peace Memorial Park and reflect at the Cenotaph, your host will share the deeply moving stories that these sites hold. The museum provides a touching narrative of Hiroshima's past, a chapter of history that continues to shape the world.

Hiroshima Castle: Next, we'll step back into the era of samurais at the majestic Hiroshima Castle. Wandering through its reconstructed grandeur, you'll hear tales of feudal Japan and learn about the castle's pivotal role in shaping Hiroshima's destiny.

Miyajima Island Excursion: Our journey then takes a whimsical turn as we ferry over to the mystical Miyajima Island. It's a place where history and legend intertwine, epitomized by the Itsukushima Shrine and its famous floating torii gate. Let's explore the shrine, soak in the island's ethereal beauty, and if luck is on our side, meet the friendly deer who roam the island.

Local Hidden Gems: Between these iconic sights, your host will also take you off the beaten path. You'll wander through Hiroshima's charming backstreets, sample delicacies at hidden local eateries, and discover viewpoints only known to locals. These are the places where Hiroshima's heart truly beats.

Cultural Insights & Personal Stories: Throughout our time together, your host will weave in their personal stories and insights, giving you a deeper connection to Hiroshima and its people.

As your journey comes full circle back at the Peace Memorial, we'll part with more than just memories; we'll carry a newfound understanding and appreciation of Hiroshima's resilience, beauty, and spirit."

Join us on this unique exploration, where every step tells a story and every sight opens a new chapter. This is Hiroshima through the eyes of our locals, and they can't wait to share it with you.
