Full description

This is a 4-hour experience in Hiroshima, built around Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Bus/coach. It is run by DeepExperience, Inc., 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 guide, Train and boat tickets to Itsukushima Shrine, Admission to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Visit to the Atomic Bomb Dome. It does not cover Meals and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Personal expenses and All Fees and Taxes for 4/8 Hour Custom Tour Option, 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.

DeepExperience, Inc. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with DeepExperience, Inc. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Gordon was een zeer ervaren en aimabele gids die ons gezin met veel enthousiasme langs de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden van Hiroshima heeft geleid. Zijn uitgebreide kennis, boeiende verhalen, zijn humor en persoonlijke aanpak maakten deze dag onvergetelijk. Hij nam ruim de tijd om al onze vragen te beantwoorden en liet ons Hiroshima op een authentieke en bijzondere manier beleven. We kunnen Gordon van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die Hiroshima écht wil leren kennen.

Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.

Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages.

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.
