About This Tour
Discover Hiroshima through a personal storytelling walk led by a local guide who has lived here for over 20 years. This tour focuses on context, lived experience, and the small details that bring the city’s history and present-day life together. We begin at either Shukkeien Garden or Peace Memorial Park, depending on your preference, and walk through Hiroshima Castle and Gokoku Shrine to understand the city before 1945. As we follow the Peace Line into the park, I share stories and perspectives that many visitors miss. We continue to the A-Bomb Dome and, if you wish, the Peace Memorial Museum. The pace is relaxed, with time for questions and reflection. This is not a rushed sightseeing tour, but a thoughtful introduction to Hiroshima’s past and present.
