Overview

  • 【Discover Another Side of Hiroshima】

    Step off the beaten track and explore the city like a local. Walk through historic backstreets, visit area shops, and experience the authentic, everyday charm of Hiroshima.

    The storey of Hiroshima is more than just its post-war recovery. Today’s vibrant city is built upon centuries of rich history and culture dating back to the samurai era.

    Away from the usual tourist crowds, we will stroll through quiet areas and visit charming, traditional shops. We will also visit the Memorial Cathedral of World Peace—a post-war architectural masterpiece.

    ・The start time is flexible between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM.

    ・I can meet you at the station and help with practical needs, like luggage storage or buying return train tickets. Feel free to ask!
