Informative tour. - Despite it raining all day-we did the 10am tour with Shiva(apologies I may have spelt his name wrong) it was extremely informative with plenty of time to ask questions. It gave us an insight to the lead up to Hiroshima nuclear bomb and its effects and subsequent recovery. The Peace Memorial park is a very special place to visit, the architecture thought in all details of the park is outstanding. We highly recommend this walking tour.

Sobering & Important - Our 2-hour walking tour in the Hiroshima Memorial Garden was absolutely worth participating in. Although difficult to learn about this part of history, our guide, Moen, helped us to understand the significance & long term impact of this tragedy. She guided us skillfully with her stories & knowledge and respectfully illustrated the resilience of the Japanese people. The tour is absolutely a must do.

Hiroshima Peace Walk Tour - Very good detailed information about a terrible event in history. Well worth the organised tour, Thankyou to Nisa, you have a great level of detailed knowledge and welcomed any questions we had on the day that helped me understand more of the history. Such a horrific and terrible event, I hope personally to never be repeated. With thanks Brad and Pia.
