This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
This private walk offers a deeper look at Hiroshima by combining well-known landmarks with meaningful places most visitors never reach. Alongside the A-Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park, we visit Shirakami Shrine, the Former Bank of Japan, and Honkawa Elementary School — locations that reveal Hiroshima’s history on a more personal level.
A short ride on Hiroshima’s historic streetcar is included, giving you a relaxed and authentic way to enter the city’s older neighborhoods. With over two decades of experience living in Hiroshima, I share stories, context, and reflections that help connect the past with the present.
The tour is paced with care, offering a thoughtful balance of history, reflection, and calm moments to take everything in.
A thoughtful introduction to Hiroshima for travelers seeking more than a standard Peace Park visit.

Return details

-
Shirakami ShrineOur first stop is this peaceful shrine, one of Hiroshima’s oldest sacred places. It offers a quiet moment to understand the city’s spiritual roots and the community that lived here long before the war.
-
Former Bank of Japan HiroshimaThis striking structure survived the atomic bomb and reveals what Hiroshima looked like before 1945. We’ll step inside (when open) to explore how daily life and commerce shaped the city.
-
Hypocenter monumentThe Hypocenter Monument marks the exact spot beneath the explosion. Its simple design reflects the scale of the event and offers a quiet moment to understand its impact
-
Atomic Bomb DomeThe Atomic Bomb Dome, a haunting reminder of the world's first atomic bombing, stands as a stark symbol of peace. Once a modern architectural marvel, it was left skeletal after the 1945 blast, forever frozen in time. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it serves as a solemn tribute to the victims and a call for a nuclear-free future.
-
Honkawa Peace MuseumA short walk brings us to Honkawa School, another survivor of the blast. The preserved classroom and exhibits offer a personal and very human perspective on the city’s history.
-
Peace BellAs we enter Peace Memorial Park, you’re welcome to ring the Peace Bell — a simple but meaningful gesture shared by visitors from around the world.
-
Monument to Korean Victims and SurvivorsThe Monument in Memory of the Korean Victims of the A-bomb stands as a solemn tribute to the many Koreans who lost their lives in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It serves as a reminder of the shared suffering and the enduring hope for peace between the two nations.
-
Children's Peace MonumentThe Children's Peace Monument stands as a poignant memorial to the young victims of the atomic bombing. It commemorates Sadako Sasaki, a girl who died of leukemia caused by radiation exposure, and the thousands of other children who suffered similar fates. The monument features a statue of a young girl holding a paper crane, a symbol of peace and hope.
-
Hiroshima Peace City Monument Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb VictimsWe stop at the Peace Flame and the Cenotaph, symbols of remembrance and hope. The flame burns for a world free of nuclear weapons, while the Cenotaph honors the victims and carries the message: “Let all the souls here rest in peace.”
-
Hiroshima Peace Memorial MuseumWe finish our walk along the symbolic line that links the A-Bomb Dome, the Flame of Peace, and the Cenotaph — a thoughtful way to close our time in the park. The tour ends at the entrance to the Peace Memorial Museum, where you may continue your visit at your own pace.
