Overview

Discover the "Invisible Stories" of Hiroshima

This small-group tour (max 6 guests), led by a licensed local guide, connects the historic Peace Memorial Park with the peaceful 9th-century Mitaki-dera Temple.

After a short introduction in the city center, we take a local bus outside the city center to discover the "invisible stories" of Hiroshima.

Through seven unique experiences—ring the temple bell, touch memorial water in peace ceremonies, walk on atomic-bombed tram stones, and reflect on what peace means to you—you'll connect deeply with Hiroshima's history and spirit of peace.

Leave the tourist areas for meaningful conversation and a personal journey.

Meeting point
Walk from Atomic Bomb Dome with river on your right. Cross Motoyasu Bridge to Rest House (retro 3-story building). Find me by the river-side entrance in front of "Fuel Hall" board with 2 photos. I'll have a "Mitaki Peace Tour" sign. (Restrooms inside.)
Return details
We’ll take the train from Mitaki Station. Your guide will accompany you all the way to Hiroshima Station, which is two stops from Mitaki. If you prefer, you may also get off at Yokogawa Station (the next stop) or Hakushima Station (the one after that), before reaching Hiroshima.

  • Before it was a park, this neighborhood was a busy place with many houses, shops, and the sounds of daily life. In a single flash on August 6, 1945, that world vanished. As we enter the Rest House and stand in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome, we are not just looking at them; we are listening to the stories of the people who were there. After our visit, we will take a local bus from a nearby bus stop. This 20-minute ride takes us away from the city center to the quiet area of Mitaki.
  • After the bus ride and a 10-minute walk, the air changes as you enter the temple grounds. This sanctuary is home to lush nature, three waterfalls, and hundreds of stone statues. With me, you will uncover the untold stories linking this sanctuary to the atomic bombing. You will also discover the enduring prayers for peace that remain here today. Away from the crowds, enjoy a quiet moment for reflection before we return by train.
