Things to do in Hiroshima Prefecture

Very surreal experience. Very informative, enlightening and deeply heartfelt. The way in which the museum has collated artifacts that depicted a time in their history of tragedy, even many years thereafter, truly humbling experience. It may not be for everyone, but highly recommend along with the audio guide is a must. I suggest museum first and then walk around the park after. It makes you appreciate the surrounds more with informed understanding.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, we arrived quite late, but we still had a wonderful experience. We also found what we were looking for in the shop. Sadly, some of the animals have enclosures that are a bit too small, but that is very rarely any different elsewhere.

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.

just the roundtrip shinkansen between Osaka and Hiroshima tickets is worth the price paid already, everything thing else is a free add on. definitely get this pass!

Emi was an amazing guide! super knowledgeable and very funny! we visited all the sights and had a fantastic time! a very moving experience and we are glad we had Emi guiding us!

Yassy who guided us on this English tour spoke very fluent English, friendly and approachable! She gave us alot of information and brought us to places that we on our own will never visit. She's very patient as well and did not rush us during the journey where we took breaks and chatted about Japanese culture, and she waited for us while we shop. after the trip, she even accompanied us to Genbaku Dome which we didn't know the most convenient way. Along the way, she gave us tips for our onwards journey and we also taught her some Aussie slang. highly recommended tour with Yassy.

The Kegura performance was fantastic from start to finish. The costumes were magnificent and they were so detailed and intricate. The performers were so impressive - even more so when you know that the troupe have “day” jobs alongside such skilled performing. the engagement with the audience was superb with active participation encouraged and clearly welcomed. The competes were also great, including an English speaking compete was a really lovely touch. We loved having the opportunity to experience this traditional theatrical art form in such a brilliant venue. This was definitely a highlight of our 3 weeks in Japan and we couldn’t recomm nd it more highly. booking through Klook was so easy and the organisation at the venue was superb. if you’re in Hiroshima don’t miss this.
