510 out of 5
We would give this ten stars if we could!! Great experience. Kana, our guide, is incredible! So knowledgeable and shared such insightful details and personal stories from survivors. She answered all of our questions and we had great discussions at every stop. I think this tour helps you see points of interest you might miss if you're on your own. The electric bikes were top notch and Kana did a great job of making sure we felt safe and knew what we were doing. This is an amazing experience and we loved spending time with Kana!

About Hiroshima
Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.
Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
Top-ranked sights in Hiroshima: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Miyajima Island (Itsukushima).
