About this activity

Experience Hiroshima beyond the history books on a fully private tour with a Japanese local guide.

Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Peace Memorial Museum while discovering how local families experienced the bombing, how Hiroshima rebuilt, and why peace remains central to the city today.

Most of our qualified guides were born and raised in Hiroshima, and all can share family stories connected to the atomic bombing, including second-generation survivor perspectives. They also have international experience and speak clear, easy-to-understand English.

Choose 3 or 4 hours. With 3 hours, focus on the peace sites or add Hiroshima Castle or Shukkeien Garden. With 4 hours, explore more city highlights or deeper historical sites, including Hiroshima’s recovery and medical response after the bombing.

Meet your guide at your central Hiroshima hotel, Hiroshima Station or cruise terminal. Cruise passengers should select the 4-hour option.
