• Hiroshima Station - The meeting point will be arranged for your convenience. The operator can meet you directly at Peace Memorial Park or in front of Shukkeien Garden, depending on your preference. The exact meeting location will be confirmed with you prior to the tour.
• Shukkei-en Garden - This beautiful traditional garden offers a serene introduction to Hiroshima. Visitors can explore winding paths, ponds, and bridges while learning about the city’s early history and cultural heritage.
• Hiroshima Castle - A reconstructed castle that once stood at the heart of Hiroshima’s samurai-era city. Visitors can explore the grounds to gain insight into life before 1945 and how the area transformed after the bombing.

Originally built in 1589 by the influential feudal lord Mori Terumoto, Hiroshima Castle was a formidable fortress and the economic hub of the city. Its five-story main keep, surrounded by a moat, provides breathtaking views of the city. Today, the castle has been carefully reconstructed, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate its historical importance.

Beyond its impressive exterior, Hiroshima Castle also conveys a powerful message of peace. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 devastated the city, including the castle. Yet, from the ruins, a symbol of hope and resilience emerged. Today, the castle stands as a reminder of the tragedy of war and the enduring human spirit.
