Even after nearly 30 years here - exploring the architecture, history, & stories of Hiroshima people past and present is still fascinating and I'm happy to share my insights with visitors. This half-day (4h) tour of Hiroshima city takes in the key sights and important themes of peace, history, resilience, culture, traditions, heritage, locally-made products and natural beauty. Depending on your interests and our walking pace, we can personalize what interests you add stops along the way to rest, eat and drink if you like. The fee for this tour covers the guiding and translation during the tour as well as my own transportation, entry and food or drink costs. Guests should plan to cover their own travel, entry fees and transportation costs. 1, 000 yen per person (in cash) covers the basic tour expenses for donations, entry and/or travel & 2, 000 per person to cover food and drinks.
+ Meet at your hotel (or Hiroshima station) + Visit 1-4 of the sacred mountains shrines and temples (1 hour) + Visit the stunning Zen gardens Shukkei-en (1 hour) + enjoy Japanese sweets and tea (+ 30 minutes) + Walk through the Hiroshima castle & Shrine grounds (1 hour) + Walk to Hiroshima peace park via the central shopping areas to give an overview of the city (30 minutes) + enjoy a coffee or light meal (+ 1 hour) / option: take a taxi, tram or sightseeing bus + Walk through Hiroshima's heart "Peace Park": A-bomb dome + meaningful monuments along the peace line (1 hour) - the tour ends at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum where I recommend going through on your own using an audio guide- it is a powerful and personal experience. == NOTE == order, length of each visit and destinations will depend on the weather, walking speed, interests of group. I prioritize guest safety & personalized experience.

If you enjoy walking and the weather is fine, we can do this tour entirely on foot which is enjoyable and you can get a good feel for the city this way. Rental bicycles are another option (1500/DAY) Hiroshima has great transportation options, so if the conditions are not optimal, we can use a bus, tram or taxi to reduce our walking time. The cost of transportation is minimal between 100~300 yen per person per ride. If you have a JR Rail pass, you will be able to use the sightseeing bus for free. Taxis are around 1000 yen per ride per taxi in the city center. Private car hire can be done if booked by guests prior to your tour (ask me for a recommendation taxi co link).
