Description

Discover Hiroshima's nostalgic charm on a 6-hour tour. Ride a vintage tram, stroll along rivers, explore retro shopping streets, and savor local delicacies in a cozy café.
Begin your journey with a stroll along the Motoyasu River, a place of peace and reflection. Walk along the river to see the gentle rhythm of daily life—joggers passing by, boats gliding across the water, and couples strolling quietly hand in hand.

Cross the Kyobashi Bridge, a site that embodies Hiroshima’s riverside spirit. Once a bustling entry point into the city, the bridge has witnessed centuries of change, standing as a symbol of continuity amid transformation.

Next, hop aboard one of Hiroshima’s vintage trams, known locally as “Hiroden.” Some trams in service today are survivors from the pre-war era, lovingly preserved and still clattering along Hiroshima’s tracks. Their wooden interiors, polished metal handles, and distinctive rumble create a sensory experience that feels like stepping back into the Showa period.

As the tram winds through the city streets, catch glimpses of daily life—shopkeepers arranging displays, schoolchildren in uniform, and locals hopping on and off with casual ease. This ride is not just about getting from one place to another; it’s about feeling the heartbeat of Hiroshima as it moves forward while holding onto its past.

Stepping off the tram, the tour shifts into one of Hiroshima’s most charming settings: the Ekimae retro shopping streets. Unlike modern shopping malls, these alleys retain the atmosphere of a bygone era. Narrow walkways are lined with mom-and-pop stores, small eateries, and vintage storefronts where time seems to have paused. Neon signs from the 1960s, hand-painted shop boards, and well-worn shutters evoke a sense of nostalgia that instantly transports visitors to postwar Japan.

Finally, stop at a local café, where vintage interiors—wooden counters, stained glass lamps, and softly playing jazz—set a cozy, nostalgic mood.
