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. Admission Fee: ¥200

5.00Our private tour to Hiroshima and Miyajima Island was the highlight of our Osaka trip. Our guide, Yuji-san was beyond excellent. He came well prepared providing us literature to read while on the train. These reading materials were put together personally by himself. He possesses an incredible amount of knowledge of the history and culture of Hiroshima and Miyajima, not to mention his sense of humor to take the edge off of the sensitivity and seriousness of the war. This tour is a must if you find yourself near Osaka.
A must see tour in Hiroshima

5.00Wonderful tour, very interesting Sei our guide was so helpful and kept in contact with me in the lead up to the date. Everything worked super well. Love Miyajima and Peace Park was like nothing you've ever experienced. Quite a lot of walking and use of public transport, so if you can't talk long distances, be warned. Definitely recommend this tour.
Fantastic tour of Hiroshima!

5.00Mr. Kazuhisa To is a fantastic guide for a tour of Hiroshima! The tour was well planned and executed. It covered a variety of interesting sites from the moving bombing memorial and museum to the peaceful shrine and temple on Miyajima. The restaurants selected for lunch, snack, etc. were also great, with delicious food and unique settings. I enjoyed every minute of it and had a very memorable day. Mr. To is a knowledgable and friendly guide, who speaks excellent English and is always happy to answer questions. Highly recommended! (Wear comfortable shoes, considerable walking involved.)
Hiroshima tour with Sei the greatest tour guide.

5.00Our tour was outstanding, our guide Sei was amazing and just as wonderful as the tour itself. Such a gentle kind man that had outstanding knowledge of the Hiroshima bombing. Sei didn't try and hide the horrible truth about that day. He made the entire day interesting and spoke to all 4 of us when he spoke and remembered everyone's name. I highly recommend this tour and I would highly recommend Sei as your guide. I wish Sei all the best in his future and we will never forget him. Great Ramen too Sei 😃😀👍.
Great experience with Yuji in Hiroshima

5.00Our Tour Guide Yuji was so well organised and his holistic approach suited the tour perfectly. Yuji was in contact with us weeks before the tour introducing himself and then he met us at the train station. He had pre-prepared booklets of information about the temples, the island and also Hiroshima Peace Park. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. We felt that he allowed us to gain the maximum experience from the time we spent with hi in Hiroshima. Highly recommended!!
This tour brought Hiroshima and Miyajima to life!

5.00My wife and I toured the city with our wonderful local guide, Yuko. She bought the story of destruction, suffering, survival and rebirth to life. First, we visited the hypocenter, Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park and the Peace Memorial Museum. We then shared a delicious local meal and learned how meaningful the food is to the people of Hiroshima. After lunch, we took the ferry to Miyajima, where we toured the Itsukushima Shrine, Daisho-in Temple and stopped into a local store. Again, Yuko brought these places to life by tying her life journey to the shrine and temple. If you are visiting Hiroshima, I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Yuko for your guide!
A fantastic day with our guide Yuji

5.00Yuji was an excellent guide and would highly recommend 10/10!! He brought so much knowledge and insight into our day. He made our experience so much more memorable than if we had done it by ourselves. If you are thinking of a guided tour, book Yuji, he was fantastic!

5.00Yuji was simply awesome. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and engaging. He is a great ambassador for the Japanese people. We were able to see a lot of sites but never felt rushed. I would recommend Yuji and this tour to anyone!
A remarkable experience at Miyajima and in Hiroshima!

5.00Sachi was a knowledgeable and great guide! She got us efficiently from site to site and made sure our transport went smoothly. She showed us a lot throughout the day and even brought us to an okonomyaki restaurant for lunch. She accommodated our range of ages (pre-teen to 75+) with information she provided and the speed of the tour.
