Peace walk

This was a wonderful tour. Saki provided us with a fantastic story line of events that occurred in August 1945. We would never have learned this or visited these sites in our own. The museum and park experience was quite the emotional experience. The lunch was delicious. I highly recommend this tour when you are in Hiroshima.

Fantastic Hiroshima Piece walking tour

Amazing Hiroshima Piece walking tour. I learned so much about what happened to Hiroshima during and after the atomic bomb explosion. You get to visit the Hiroshima Peace memorial museum, a must go to to fully understand the consequences of what happened during World War II (photos of victims, testimonies, videos). To guide you throughout the visit, the tour guide was fantastic. She really took the time to explain some bits of history while visiting some key spots, always smiling, helpful, waiting for guests whenever they wanted to take pictures.
