Overview

Hiroshima holds a unique and profound place in world history: it was the first city ever subjected to an atomic bomb attack in 1945.


In the aftermath of the devastation, local residents expressed agonizing despair, often repeating that “no flowers or trees would grow here for 75 years.”

Yet, out of that suffering, Hiroshima has achieved a magnificent restoration, transforming into a vibrant City of Peace—a vital centre for learning about and advocating for peace worldwide.


This essential tour offers you the opportunity to deeply explore this remarkable recovery. 


You will journey to the most critical sites—the Peace Memorial Park, the Peace Memorial Museum, and the Atomic Bomb Dome—alongside a knowledgeable local guide.
