Tour description
Walk through the shadows and light of Hiroshima:
Welcome to a tour that's more than just a stroll... It's a journey through history, humanity, and hope. This isn't a typical textbook history lesson: it's real, authentic, and unforgettable.
🗣️ This tour is organized and provided in English only.
Unlike traditional tours that rush you from one place to another, I invite you to pause and experience the history . I share:
- Historical facts with a human touch
- Stories of survivors (Hibakusha) that remain in memory
- Personal reflections and little-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 Memorial
- Cenotaph for the victims of the atomic bomb
- Peace Bell and Flame of Peace
- Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall
- View of the Motoyasu River: a quiet place for reflection
If you're looking for a guide who speaks from the heart, explains the story clearly and engagingly, and treats travelers like friends, then this tour is for you.
✅ Perfect for first-time visitors
✅ Friendly and interactive English
✅ Solo travelers, couples, and small groups welcome
⏳ Limited seats: book your tour now and discover Hiroshima's history with me!
