Learn all about one of the most important locations of World War II when you take this guided tour of Hiroshima. You'll discover how this Japanese city was radically reborn after the atomic bombing and why today it's a symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Guided Tour of Hiroshima

At 10 am, we'll meet up next to Nishi Kamiyacho Station to find out how World War II came to an end in Japan on this guided tour of Hiroshima.

First, we'll head towards the Hiroshima Peace Museum, where we'll relive some of the most tragic moments of modern history. We'll discover the horrors caused by the atomic bombing of August 1945 and learn how the people of this place managed to recover from this catastrophe.

After visiting the exhibition, we'll go to the Orizuru tower, the iconic symbol of the city. From the observation deck, we'll enjoy panoramic views of Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial Park. We'll also see the castle and the island of Miyajima.

Then, we'll pause for lunch that includes a dish and a drink. Afterward, we'll head to the Genbaku Dome, known as the Hiroshima Peace Monument. This structure is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its historical value. Our guide will reveal all the details behind it.

Finally, we'll conclude the guided tour by returning to the original starting point at 2:30 pm after a morning full of history and reflection.
