Full description

This is a 7-hour experience in Hiroshima, built around Tram, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Local restaurant. It is run by AIDO, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park sits on the ground beneath the point where the bomb detonated at 8:15 on 6 August 1945. The A-Bomb Dome, the skeleton of the industrial promotion hall, was left as it stood; the Peace Memorial Museum reopened in 2019 after a redesign and takes about two hours, and is not for young children. The Children's Peace Monument is hung with paper cranes sent from around the world. Hiroshima's own food is okonomiyaki layered with noodles, eaten at counters in Okonomimura. Miyajima is 40 minutes away and most visitors combine the two in one day.

The price covers Hotel pickup, Bilingual guide and Momiji manju. It does not cover Transportation, Museum & shrine entry, Lunch and Personal drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hiroshima. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with AIDO before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The personal service of my guide, Kaku. I normally book small group tours as I enjoy meeting fellow travelers, but there was no availablity. I have been dozens of tours around the world and this was one of the best. Private, one on one, customized. Besides the big sights, there were many elements I would have missed. These included sweet shop, tea house with history lesson, knife shop, local juice stand, basement near epicenter where a person survived. Plenty of time in the museum. Thank you Kaku, Great tour with great guide. Thanks for an awesome day.

Kaku made sure we had a unique day in Hiroshima and Miyajima. On top of that he facilitated that we got to get a custummade stamp that we were looking for. The day was entirely made to fullfill our wishes. He KNOWS a lot about the history of the sites we visited and quietly made sure we saw everything - even when there were a lot of other tourists around. Make sure to taste the lemonade and oysters in Miyajima. We would give 6 stars of we could and warmly recommend Kaku!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hiroshima The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover transportation, museum & shrine entry, lunch and personal drinks. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom (2026 full bloom landed around March 29-31), or October-November for autumn color and oyster season. August 6 brings the Peace Memorial Ceremony — moving, but the city is at its most crowded. See our best time to visit Hiroshima guide.
The Hiroden streetcar (flat ¥240) covers most sights, and the meipuru-pu loop bus is free with a JR Pass. Miyajima is a ¥200 ferry ride plus the ¥100 visitor tax. Full fares and passes in getting around Hiroshima.
Two days is the sweet spot: day one for the Peace Memorial Park, Museum and city, day two for Miyajima Island. Our 2-day Hiroshima itinerary maps it hour by hour.
Plan 2-3 hours for the park and museum together — the museum is just ¥200 and opens from 7:30 AM. Etiquette, monuments, and timing tips are in our Peace Memorial Park guide.
The torii appears to float at tide levels above ~250cm, and you can walk out to its base below ~100cm — a single day often offers both. Check tide tables before you go; the full trick is in our Miyajima Island guide.
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — layered, not mixed like Osaka's, with soba inside — plus winter oysters and momiji manju on Miyajima. Okonomimura's 24 stalls are the classic first stop. See the Hiroshima food guide.
Miyajima is the essential one; beyond it, Iwakuni's Kintai Bridge and Okunoshima (Rabbit Island) are both doable by train. Honest rankings and logistics in our Hiroshima day trips guide.
