Begin your Hiroshima adventure with a local expert! Get a crash course in Hiroshima’s history, and learn to get around the vibrant city it is today.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
The name Hiroshima will forever evoke images of devastating events, but the city is so much more than its museums and memorials. To get a full picture of the friendly, vibrant Hiroshima of today is to see it through the eyes of someone who lives here – so who better give you a crash course in navigating all its sides than a local host? Jostle through Hondori shopping arcade, a small slice of big city life, with trendy coffee shops and crowded stores, and take a serene stroll through 400-year-old Shukkei-en garden, a survivor of the atomic bomb. Hiroshima Castle is a trove of treasures once belonging to samurai lords, while the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome are must-sees to fully comprehend Hiroshima’s strength and resilience.

Absolutely 5 stars! Ken was an exceptional guide for our walking tour through Hiroshima. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history, but what really stood out was his patience and kindness with our children—he made sure they felt included and engaged the entire time. He tailored the pace to suit our family and answered all our questions with warmth and insight. To top it off, he brought us to a local restaurant that served one of the most delicious meals we had on our trip. A memorable and meaningful experience—we couldn’t recommend Ken more highly!
Show moreWe only had booked Ken for a short two hour experience as that was all that we had allocated, however we could have done a whole day! Ken was funny and brought his own personal narrative when discussing the events of Hiroshima. We would highly recommend!
Show moreKen is a fantastic guide. We had a special request to visit Kure since we had family that lived here many years ago. We had a wonderful afternoon and visited several important sites. Ken shared history and background for us. Then back to Hiroshima for a special lunch! We highly recommend Ken for a guide. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to make the most of your time.
