Hiroshima Peace & History: 3-Hr Private Walk with Local Guide
Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
$164.27
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
This private 3-hour walk offers a focused introduction to Hiroshima, combining key Peace Memorial Park landmarks with places that show how the city lived — and recovered — beyond the park itself.
We begin outside the memorial area at Shirakami Shrine and the Former Bank of Japan, two sites that place Hiroshima’s history in a broader city context before entering the Peace Park. A short ride on Hiroshima’s historic streetcar is included, offering a relaxed and very local way to move through the city.
The walk through Peace Memorial Park focuses on both the well-known landmarks and quieter, lesser-visited corners of the park. Along the way, I share stories and details that are often missed, allowing the space to be experienced with context, curiosity, and a strong sense of place rather than simply following a checklist of monuments.
This tour is ideal for travelers with limited time who want depth, clarity, and local perspective — without committing to a longer half-day experience.
