Tour description

Join us on a powerful and moving walking tour of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a site dedicated to remembrance, reflection, and peace. This tour will guide you through key landmarks that commemorate the victims of the atomic bombing of August 6, 1945, while highlighting Hiroshima’s resilience and ongoing efforts for a nuclear-free world.

Tour Highlights

Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome)
Begin at the Atomic Bomb Dome, one of the few structures left standing after the bombing. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ruin symbolizes both devastation and hope, reminding the world of the importance of peace and nuclear disarmament.
Children’s Peace Monument
Visit the Children’s Peace Monument, inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who developed leukemia due to radiation exposure.
Peace Bell & Flame of Peace
Stop by the Peace Bell, which visitors are encouraged to ring, sending a message for peace. Nearby, the Flame of Peace has been burning since 1964 and will continue until nuclear weapons are abolished, reinforcing Hiroshima’s commitment to peace.
Memorial Cenotaph
At the park’s heart lies the Memorial Cenotaph, an arched monument inscribed with the words: "Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil." The structure aligns with the Atomic Bomb Dome, serving as a striking reminder of history.
