Hiroshima’s Heart: A 4-Hour Private Storytelling Walk
Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
$210.01
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
Discover Hiroshima through a personal storytelling walk with a guide who has lived here for over two decades. After studying Japanese arts and spending time with an atomic bomb survivor, I share a perspective shaped by real connections and lived experience.
We can begin at Shukkeien Garden or Peace Memorial Park, depending on your preference. From there we explore Hiroshima Castle and Gokoku Shrine, learning about the city’s culture and resilience. As we follow the Peace Line into the Park, I highlight small details and stories most visitors miss.
We continue to the A-Bomb Dome and, if you choose, the Peace Memorial Museum. The pace is relaxed, with time for questions, reflection, and even a coffee break. This is not a rushed sightseeing tour, but a warm and meaningful introduction to Hiroshima’s past and present.

-
ShukkeienA beautiful traditional garden offering a calm introduction to Hiroshima. We explore winding paths, ponds, and bridges while talking about the city’s early history and cultural roots.
-
Hiroshima CastleA reconstructed castle that once stood at the center of Hiroshima’s samurai-era city. We visit the grounds to understand life before 1945 and how this area changed after the bombing. Built in 1589 by the powerful feudal lord Mori Terumoto, Hiroshima Castle was once a formidable fortress and the economic center of the city. Its five-story main keep, surrounded by a moat, offers stunning views of the city. Today, the castle has been meticulously reconstructed, allowing visitors to step back in time and explore its historical significance. Beyond its imposing exterior, Hiroshima Castle also carries a poignant message of peace. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 devastated the city, including the castle. Yet, from the ashes, a symbol of hope and resilience emerged. Today, the castle stands as a reminder of the tragedy of war and the enduring human spirit.
-
A peaceful Shinto shrine dedicated to local history and tradition. It’s a great place to learn about rituals, festivals, and everyday spiritual life in Hiroshima.
-
Hiroshima Peace Memorial ParkThe heart of Hiroshima’s message of peace. We visit key monuments—such as the A-Bomb Dome and the Children’s Peace Monument—while I share stories from survivors and local families.
-
Hiroshima Peace Memorial MuseumWe visit the Peace Memorial Museum, and when conditions allow, I guide you through the key sections to give context and clarity. If the museum is crowded or you prefer to explore quietly, I provide an introduction and clear guidance before you enter.
