Traveler reviews
Such an informative tour!
While not strictly necessary for the museum portion of the tour, Sayu added much appreciated context throughout the experience, as someone who lived in Hiroshima her whole life. Also had the opportunity to view other hidden/lesser known sites connected to the horrific events of the bombing.
Great learning experience with breathtaking views
Kaz was Knowledgeable, friendly and made the powerful peace walk quite enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Hiroshima
We had a really nice tour with Kaori. She gave us a lot of information and was very kind. She was also very good with the children. We had a great day!
Great tour!
We had an incredible tour with Hika today! He is in very good athletic shape and it made it so we could walk a lot to see many things! Hika shared the experiences of his family members on the day of the bombing and the outlasting effect on their lives. He was happy to answer any questions and gave us great recommendations for other things to do and see and eat in the city.
The tour was well organized
Our Hiroshima Peace Walking Tour was one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Japan. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and brought the history to life in a respectful and engaging way. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome, and hearing the stories behind the monuments gave us a much deeper understanding of the events and their lasting impact. The tour was well organized, thoughtfully paced, and allowed plenty of time for questions and reflection. We left with a greater appreciation for Hiroshima’s remarkable message of peace, resilience, and hope. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima. It is an unforgettable experience that will stay with you long after your visit.
