Overview

This private 3-hour walk offers a focused introduction to Hiroshima, combining key Peace Memorial Park landmarks with places that show how the city lived — and recovered — beyond the park itself.

We begin outside the memorial area at Shirakami Shrine and the Former Bank of Japan, two sites that place Hiroshima’s history in a broader city context before entering the Peace Park. A short ride on Hiroshima’s historic tram is included, offering a relaxed and very local way to move through the city.

The walk through Peace Memorial Park focuses on both the well-known landmarks and quieter, lesser-visited corners of the park. Along the way, I share stories and details that are often missed, allowing the space to be experienced with context, curiosity, and a strong sense of place rather than simply following a checklist of monuments.

This tour is ideal for travellers with limited time who want depth, clarity, and local perspective — without committing to a longer half-day experience.

Activity itinerary

Shirakami Shrine

  • 10m
Our first stop is this quiet local shrine, one of Hiroshima’s oldest sacred places. It offers a calm introduction to the city’s spiritual roots and everyday life before the war.

Former Bank of Japan Hiroshima

  • 15m
One of the buildings that survived the atomic bombing. When open, we step inside briefly to understand Hiroshima’s commercial life and cityscape before 1945.

Ground Zero

The Hypocenter Monument marks the exact spot beneath the explosion. Its simple design reflects the scale of the event and offers a quiet moment to understand its impact

Atomic Bomb Dome

  • 20m
The most recognisable landmark in Hiroshima, preserved as it was after the bombing. We discuss its history and role as a symbol of peace today.

Peace Bell

  • 5m
As we enter Peace Memorial Park, guests may ring the Peace Bell if they wish — a simple, reflective moment shared by visitors from around the world.

Children's Peace Monument

  • 15m
Dedicated to child victims of the atomic bombing, this monument introduces the storey of Sadako Sasaki and the meaning behind the paper cranes seen throughout the park.

The Cenotaph

We pause at the Cenotaph and Flame of Peace to explain their meaning and how they relate visually and symbolically to the A-Bomb Dome.
