Highlights
  • Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum - Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park (平和記念公園, Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is one of the most prominent features of the city. Even visitors not looking for it will likely stumble upon the large park of over 120,000 square meters. Its trees, lawns, and walking paths are in stark contrast to the surrounding downtown area.

Before the bomb, the area of what is now the Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot’s target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities.

Great tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima for the fmaily - Our guide, Yanagida Yoshiyuki (“Yoshi”) was very knowledgeable about the history of Hiroshima and about the other historical sites like Miyajima and shrine. We had a great experience and were promptly met at the train station upon our arrival. Yoshi connected with us before our trip and the night before. I would recommend this tour for any age.
