    At the Atomic Bomb Dome, visitors can deeply connect with history and the resilience of Hiroshima. The Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a stark reminder of the devastation of the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945. Visitors can walk around the structure, taking in the preserved ruins that contrast with the surrounding modern city. Informational plaques provide historical context and personal stories of those affected. The Dome serves as a powerful symbol of peace, prompting reflection on the impacts of war and the importance of global harmony. It's a poignant site that offers both education and a space for contemplation.

    At Hiroshima Castle, visitors can immerse themselves in Japan's feudal history. The reconstructed castle, also known as Carp Castle, offers stunning views from its top floor. Inside, you'll find a museum showcasing samurai culture, historical artifacts, and the castle's history. The surrounding grounds are beautiful, featuring lush gardens and moats that are perfect for a leisurely stroll. The castle park is especially lovely during cherry blossom season. Additionally, there's a shrine on the grounds where visitors can experience traditional Japanese rituals. Hiroshima Castle provides a rich cultural experience and a glimpse into Japan's fascinating past.

Toshi was an awesome...

Published on May, 2025

Toshi was an awesome guide. He is very patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour

Great Day in Hiroshima

Published on May, 2025

Our guide Kazumi was likely the best I have ever had. She was very responsive to our requests, made us feel very comfortable, ensured we got good views, was informative, and even got this unadventurous eater to try something new. The city and its sites also exceeded my expectations.

We had a very nice day....

Published on May, 2025

We had a very nice day. Eri was a wonderful guide, accommodated our requests and adjusted the itinerary to suit our interests.

Caring and Knowledgeable Guide!

Published on May, 2025

Private local guide Noriko did a beautiful job of customizing tour stops and transportation to meet our goals for visiting the peace memorial park, significant historical spots, and Miyajima island. She is such a caring person; Noriko contacted us the day before our tour to make sure that we were okay; she had heard news about train track closures due to an accident. We appreciate hearing about her life in Hiroshima and the lives of her grandmothers and mother as impacted by war and the devastating bomb. Noriko advised us to wait until 5:30 pm to enter the peace museum; wished we had as we chose 4:30 pm and the museum was very crowded until about 5:30 pm!

Outstanding experience

Published on Apr, 2025

We had an outstanding experience on our tour. Miyo, our guide, was excellent and we really enjoyed her company. She gave us great historical and cultural insight and we saw things we would not have seen without her. Thank you, Miyu-san!
