Itinerary
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a serene and poignant site dedicated to the victims of the atomic bombing in 1945. The park features various monuments, including the iconic Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as a symbol of peace and resilience. Visitors can also explore the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which presents a vivid account of the bombing and its aftermath. This area is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and the resilience of humanity.
Hiroshima Castle, also known as "Carp Castle," is a beautiful reconstruction of the original castle that was destroyed during the atomic bombing. The castle stands in the heart of Hiroshima, surrounded by a tranquil moat and lush greenery. Although you’ll be viewing the castle exterior during this tour, it's worth noting that the castle’s interior houses a museum that showcases samurai culture and Hiroshima's history. The castle grounds also feature a peaceful garden, perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Shukkeien Garden is a traditional Japanese garden in Hiroshima, originally constructed in 1620 during the Edo period. The garden’s name means "shrunken scenery," as it beautifully replicates natural landscapes in a miniature form. Visitors can enjoy walking along the winding paths, crossing picturesque bridges, and admiring the seasonal flowers and koi ponds. Shukkeien is a peaceful retreat in the city, offering a glimpse into Japan’s artistic landscaping traditions.

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.
