Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park (平和記念公園, Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is one of the most prominent features of the city. Even visitors not looking for it will likely stumble upon the large park of over 120,000 square meters. Its trees, lawns, and walking paths are in stark contrast to the surrounding downtown area. Before the bomb, the area of what is now the Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot's target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities. Admission Fee: ¥200

1 hour
Hiroshima Castle

Hiroshima Castle (広島城, Hiroshimajō), also called the Carp Castle, is a good example of a castle built on a plain in the center of a city as opposed to hilltop and mountaintop castles. Its main keep is five stories tall, and its grounds are surrounded by a moat. Also within the castle's precincts are a shrine, some ruins and a few reconstructed buildings of the Ninomaru (second circle of defense). Hiroshima developed as a castle town, whereby the castle was both the physical and economical center of the city. Built in 1589 by the powerful feudal lord Mori Terumoto, Hiroshima Castle was an important seat of power in Western Japan. While it was spared the demolishment that many other castles met during the Meiji Restoration, like the rest of the city, Hiroshima Castle was destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945.

Amazing Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Yuko was a delightful and informative guide who kindly met us at our hotel. She was extremely open and allowed us to ask questions and was always very gracious. The tour itself is both beautiful and sad at the same time. We all learnt so much about Hiroshima and came away feeling this has been a true highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour .

Hiroshima private tour with Yoshiko

Published on Dec, 2024

Yoshiko provided a well organised and informative private tour of the Hiroshima Castle and the atomic bomb peace memorial and museum.

Hiroshima tour with Yuko

Published on Dec, 2024

The experience at Hiroshima was amazing in itself but the stand out of the day was our beautiful tour guide Yuko. Her depth of knowledge and facts about each aspect of the tour blew us aways. We have always been interested in Japanese history and having a local guide us through really made a difference. It was just a bonus we got the most lovely and caring guide available. We will always remember this day as one of the best of the trip thanks to Yuko.

Absolute a must tour for Hiroshima

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely worth doing this tour for the history and knowledge of our guide, Sei, was incredible. He was such an amazing tour guide and we will always remember this day

10/10 Recommend This Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour was absolutely perfect. Our fabulous tour guide Yuko met us right outside the train station (per our request) with a sign with my name on it. It was a seamless link up. Yuko was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and took into account our goals and hopes for the tour when deciding how long to spend at each stop. We learned so much, saw so much, and left feeling very satisfied with the tour. The gardens and castle were lovely; the museum and peace park were very moving. We highly recommend this tour for people who would like to learn more about the tragic yet resilient history of the city of Hiroshima. The tour took approximately 4-4.5 hours, including a mixture of walking, standing, and time on the bus. A sincere thank you to Yuko for her amazing tour!
