The experience

The tour centers on Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, where a private guide leads you through the grounds and into the Peace Memorial Museum. You'll stand at the Cenotaph, a place holding the ashes of victims recovered after the bombing, and see the Children's Peace Monument dedicated to Sadako Sasaki and other child victims. The museum itself contains a database of victims and displays that document Hiroshima's devastation and its reconstruction. A guide in English, Hindi or Urdu walks the route with you, answering questions and creating space for reflection on what each monument represents.

The Atomic Bomb Dome (the skeletal remains of a building that stood near the blast's center) stands as the tour's anchor point. You'll walk around it and take in a panoramic view of the entire park, seeing how the monuments and museum sit within the landscape. The three-hour span gives you time to move between sites without rushing, to read the inscriptions, and to sit with the weight of what you're witnessing.

All entry fees and taxes are included. The park is wheelchair accessible, with accessible surfaces and transportation options nearby. Families with infants can bring strollers. The tour suits all fitness levels, though you'll be walking the park's grounds and moving between indoor and outdoor spaces.
