In addition to visiting the iconic Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, this tour follows a route designed to deepen your understanding of peace.
You will learn about the devastation and suffering caused by the atomic bombing while also experiencing the strength and resilience of Hiroshima’s recovery.

The tour begins at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, where you will learn about the history of the atomic bombing and visit monuments dedicated to peace.

Miraculously spared from the atomic bombing, the temple offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere for quiet reflection.

This beautifully reconstructed castle provides insight into samurai history and offers the chance to see colorful carp swimming in the castle moat.
