- Monument to Korean Victims and Survivors - This monument honors the Korean victims of the atomic bombing, acknowledging their suffering and contributions to Hiroshima’s history. It stands as a symbol of remembrance, reconciliation, and the pursuit of lasting peace.
- Children’s Peace Monument - Dedicated to the memory of children who lost their lives due to the atomic bombing, this monument was inspired by Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who folded paper cranes in hope of survival. Thousands of colorful cranes surrounding the statue, sent from around the world, symbolize a collective wish for peace.
- Peace Flame - Burning continuously since 1964, the Peace Flame represents the commitment to a world without nuclear weapons. It will remain lit until all nuclear arms are abolished, serving as a powerful symbol of hope and a reminder of Hiroshima’s message of peace.
- Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims - A place of quiet reflection, the Peace Memorial Hall honors the victims of the atomic bombing through personal stories, photographs, and survivor testimonies. Its design encourages visitors to contemplate the impact of war and the importance of peace.
- Hiroshima Peace City Monument Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims - An arched monument inscribed with the words “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.” It holds the names of all known victims of the atomic bombing and aligns perfectly with the Peace Flame and Atomic Bomb Dome, symbolizing remembrance and a commitment to peace.
- Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum - The entrance ticket to the Peace Memorial Museum will be purchased in advance, allowing visitors to skip the long line. Please note that the museum visit is self-guided, as tour guides are not permitted to speak inside. It typically takes about one and a half hours to explore the museum.
- Gates of Peace - A series of ten glass gates inscribed with the word “peace” in multiple languages, symbolizing Hiroshima’s universal message of harmony. These gates stand as a reminder of the collective hope for a peaceful world, inviting reflection as visitors pass through.

Excellent tour guide - Ghani, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and was an excellent host! I learned a lot today that I did not already know. Additionally, I injured my knee recently and have trouble with stairs. Ghani made sure to slow down so I could keep up, and pointed out elevators, when available. He made sure I didn’t miss a moment of the tour. He also recommended a fantastic place to shop and eat dinner. I’m very glad we were able to be part of his group today.

Outstanding tour - We were blessed to have Cva as our tour guide. Clearly an impressive young man who was able to put a human face to such an inhumane event.

Remember where Aggression was Halted - Ample time at different spots. Intentional and thorough information. Very good guide… yet a lack of emphasis of Japan being the wartime aggressor who wanted to subjugate the world along side Germany.

Excellent and enriching - Highly knowledgeable guide with his personality he caught everyone in the group across generations. It is undoubtedly one of the best guides we have met in Japan. His English was easy to understand and he gave plenty of time to discuss and answer the individual questions

Great Tour! - The walking tour was really great! It was with a PhD student, who was more than happy to answer any questions I had. They provided a lot of information and history throughout the tour. It was really informative and I learnt a lot. Would highly recommend this tour.
