Hiroshima Peace Memorial Walking Tour

Kaz was lovely he is a man passionate about his city and about his cities message "Peace across the world". Though the history of the city is heavy and at sometimes can be almost suffocating Kaz made what could have been a downer of a day bright. The tour perfectly wound around downtown Hiroshima showing some of the well know sites of bomb damage and lesser known areas. The museum was a beautiful and poignant display of the trails and growth the city has been through and the winding path to the A-Bomb Dome showed us the beauty and resilience of the people. The crane building and dropping at the Orizuru Tower was a delight and I loved getting to be a kid going down the slide at the end. The lunch was delicious and a perfect way to end a great tour. The group was small and easily manageable as the museum can be hard to navigate with the crowds and because it was small it felt intimate and like the city was a secret being shown to us. Ending close to the tower was also ideal as my partner and I went on to do the art stamp Rally to see other parts of Hiroshima (I recommend that too). Due to the content this tour is more suited to adults though it's notnsonfar that children couldn't walk it.

The tour was absolutely incredible. We had Hika as our tour guide, and he is a second-generation atomic bomb survivor. It was incredibly moving to hear about his personal connection to the event and to learn from someone with such deep knowledge and understanding of Hiroshima’s history. He treated everyone with kindness and respect and thoughtfully answered all of our questions. The itinerary was excellent, and Hika’s guidance made the experience even more meaningful. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was incredibly well organized, educational, and one of the most impactful experiences of our trip.

Experienced and kind guide and engaged group! I would highly recommend it!

Yasue was an incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative tour guide! We were so lucky to have her describing Hiroshima's history and sharing the day with us. She brought in personal anecdotes in describing the events of the atomic bombing and also emphasized the focus on peace in the city as a response to the tragedy. I learned a great deal and have so much appreciation for Hiroshima.

Had a great day, our guide Kaz was very knowledgeable. He made us feel very welcome to his city. Also had a wonderful lunch, especially the lager!!
