Tour description
Hiroshima is a city whose name is known around the world, and whose story of destruction and remarkable rebirth is one of the most moving in modern history. Today it is a green, peaceful and forward-looking city dedicated to a message of hope. On this walking tour a local guide leads you through the Peace Memorial Park and the surrounding streets with sensitivity and depth.
You will stand before the preserved Atomic Bomb Dome, learn the story of August 1945 and the city's recovery, and see how Hiroshima transformed itself into a global symbol of peace. Along the way you will also discover the everyday life and quiet beauty of the modern city. Thoughtful and deeply memorable, Hiroshima is a place best understood on foot.
