Things to do in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

this is a really great place to educate yourself about Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, be prepared because for sure there will be lots of emotions during you are doing the tour.

While it's not a full 360-degree view, you can see all the main sights here. There's a spot on the first floor and also upstairs. It's a great place to relax until evening after buying a lemon drink. For the night view, you can go up when it operates as a bar, but I didn't go up. It's quite high up, so the breeze was cool, but the bars made it a bit difficult to take good photos. Still, it's a nice place to relax while looking out over Hiroshima city. If you choose the origami option, you can go down a floor to fold a paper crane and drop it, and they'll even take a picture for you if you hand them your phone.

Thomas was a wonderful tour guide. He was very informative and easy to talk to. I would have liked to hear more information about the military base in Hiroshima, but I understand there was a lot to cover! This tour made me even more interested to do my own self-guided study of the city’s history. Thank you, Thomas!

Highly recommend booking this full-day Miyajima and Hiroshima tour! The entire itinerary was seamless because everything was taken care of for us, from purchasing tickets to waiting in line. Our guide, Niki, was fantastic. Since she is a local, she shared a lot of fascinating insights and history as we explored each site. I also really appreciated how considerate she was of the group, especially making sure that guests who needed more time to get around due to mobility issues were comfortably accommodated. A completely stress-free experience!

The tour was a good value for money! the local guide’s insights made the tour more enriching. There was a good balance of guided moments and free time to go around by yourself. Very convenient for those wanting to see the highlights of Hiroshima in one day.

Shin was amazing! Incredible overview of the history, his personal story of his family being a survivor. I’m so glad we went and experienced Hiroshima on this tour. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful day on the Miyajima and Hiroshima day tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. Alejandro was a fantastic tour guide — friendly, knowledgeable and very engaging throughout the day. He shared interesting information about both Miyajima and Hiroshima, while also giving us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and take everything in. His organisation and helpful nature made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Ito-san, our bus driver, who did an excellent job getting us safely and comfortably around during a very busy day. Miyajima was absolutely beautiful, and visiting Hiroshima was a very moving and memorable experience. Definitely add this tour to your must do list.

amazing experience! tomo our tourguide was very accommodating and always checkin up on us if we're okay. it didnt feel rushed, the lunch included was amazing. i would explore more of hiroshiyama next time

We had a fantastic day on Miyajima with Yuka. She answered all of our questioned and shared a lot of history and culture with us. We have four children 9-14 and she was incredibly kind and patient with them. She took us to a fantastic spot for lunch where we had one of our best meals. 10/10 would recommend.
