Tour description
Walk Through the Shadows and Light of Hiroshima:
Welcome to a tour that’s not just a walk… It’s a journey through history, humanity, and hope. This isn’t your average textbook history lesson—this is real, raw, and unforgettable.
Unlike generic tours that rush you from one place to another, I invite you to slow down and feel the story. I share:
- Historical facts with a human touch
- Stories of survivors (hibakusha) that stay with you
- Personal insights and rarely told anecdotes
- Time for questions, reflection, and peaceful silence
Places We Will Visit:
- Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
- Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome)
- Children’s Peace Monument
- Cenotaph for A-bomb Victims
- Peace Bell & Peace Flame
- Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall
- Motoyasu River view—a quiet place for reflection
If you want a guide who speaks from the heart, explains history in a clear and engaging way, and connects with travelers like a friend—then this tour is for you.
✅ Perfect for first-time visitors
✅ English-friendly and interactive
✅ Solo travelers, couples, and small groups welcome
