Description

Meet us at Hiroshima Station to begin a bus journey exploring the history of Japan. During the ride, view the modern reconstruction of Hiroshima Castle, originally destroyed by the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945.

We will arrive at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial for a half-hour tour, where you will see the memorial park that honors the victims of this World War II event, including the Genbaku Dome.
