Full description

This is a 2.5-hour experience in Hiroshima, built around Gates of Peace, Dr. Marcel Junod Memorial and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It is run by Voyagers Co LLC, 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 Private guide, Entry tickets to Peace Memorial Museum, Private tour, guide and Pickup from your accommodation on foot. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Food, 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.

Taxi stand Peace Memorial Park. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Voyagers Co LLC before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Shain was an incredible tour guide! He had lots of great information about the area and knowledge that helped us enjoy the best areas around Miyajima from kayak! We saw the floating Torii Gate, jumping fish, puffer fish, and stingrays! It was a highlight of our trip! Thank you

My guide Aria did an excellent job. She contacted me a day before to see if I had any special needs or interests. With an August heat index number over 100 degrees, she freely modified our outside activities.

Awais was very thorough and gave us a great tour of the Hiroshima Peace Park. He took us around each exhibit and shared information that was helpful when toured the Peace Memorial Museum on our own. He gave us the highlights so we were able to short-cut and go the critical exhibits and navigate our way through the crowd. The company also cleraly communicated with me about luggage storage facility in the museum. Awais gave us suggestions for our Miyajima trip and we were able to see the flame on top of Mt. Misen.

Our guide Ali, was very knowledgeable, informative and interesting. He allowed us plenty of time to look at all exhibits in the museum and even though it was busy he never tried to rush us and answered all of our questions. He even sent us a message to make sure we made it safely back to the hotel after the tour.

Diego took us around the peace memorial and it was a very moving experience. He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information but in a sensitive way that left enough room to get to grips with the sheer horror of the Desaster. He also took us to the museum which was very moving. Being an architect there was the extra bonus of learning something about the buildings by Kenzo. I highly recommend Diego as a guide.

Ikram was amazing as a tour guide very knowledgeable and personable, he was very informative and also was great at briefing you before you go into the museum. He is open to questions and conversation and even challenges you to think about the history and reasons behind it.

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.

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.
