Things to do in Atomic Bomb Dome

My biggest takeaway from using the Hiroshima Enjoy Pass this time was how "convenient and cost-effective" it was. I initially bought it just to try it out, but after using it, I found that it effectively saved me money on everything from sightseeing and shopping discounts to transportation. From visiting Itsukushima Shrine and strolling through Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to buying souvenirs around Hiroshima Station, every use was incredibly smooth – all I had to do was show the mobile pass. For travelers like me who prefer to plan their own itinerary and don't want to rush, the flexibility of using it within seven days was especially practical. Overall, the Hiroshima Enjoy Pass not only saved me money but also added a sense of ease and relaxation to my trip. It's a practical pass I'd highly recommend to first-time visitors to Hiroshima.

This should be a tour that every visitor to Japan sees. It was heartwrenchingly sad. The comprehensive information and graphic details was confronting. The presentation was exceptional, it was well laid out and easily followed through the passage of the event. As sad as it was I would highly recommend it.

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!

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.

glad I had joined this one day tour… both guide n his assistant were very nice, professional, had giving us lots of background of each spot. and also they were helpful for helping some of the tour member to change their train ticket. good jobs 👍👍👍

Rino is a cheerful guide who keeps close tab on time, ensuring punctuality. she also helps guests to take good photos and is always smiling. The okinominya provided for lunch at Miyakayi isn’t very nice to eat. But the oysters two shops away recommended by Rino were delicious. Maybe more choices of lunch can be given.

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.

if we we could have given a 6th star to Yoshiko we would have. she was local, knowledgeable, and had an amazing personality. She taught us more than just the tour, she taught us how to be in Hiroshima. amazing tour. highly recommended.
