Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park Historical Walking tour

We enjoyed the experience and learned a lot about the history of Hiroshima

The tour was a great experience. Moe was so knowledgeable and shared many memories about her own family that it was very emotional and lovely for everyone. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing tour and our tour guide, Cva, was great. Very knowledgeable and intelligent, we enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

This was a great tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide! Our guide “Saki” was very well informed on the historical aspects of Hiroshima and is also a native to Hiroshima! Saki conducted a well organized tour and was able to answer all our question's! Highly recommended! Thank you Saki-san! 🙏🏼 Also, I apologize again for being a few minutes late. The “Street Car” dropped me off on the other side of the park and Google Maps had me running around in circles…literally! I must have crossed 平和大橋 5X!!!!! 😂 🙏🏼

Didn’t realize a night tour would be the best way to appreciate the Memorial. It’s solemn, respectful, and our guide was great.

The tour was exactly what we needed. Very informative. Plenty of shade. Good knowledge. Would definitely recommend.

Our guide Malek spoke perfect English was very knowledgable and the tour had a perfect pace. A very good unbiased history of Hiroshima was explained.

I was not looking for a “to the left is a statue and here’s the castle type of tour”. Our historical tour delivered the depth I was hoping for. This was an excellent, comprehensive tour beginning with the 100+ year period leading up to World War II and how tenuous the US Japan relationship had already been. Our tour guide Cva was fantastic teaching us about perspectives from Asian history that we did not come in knowing with our US history background. He took us to each of the major sites and shared reviting and heartbreaking facts at all of them. The tour ended with seeing sites and hearing stories of the beauty and resiliency of Hiroshima- and a call that we must all continue to work towards peace. We are a family of 4 and Cva completely engaged my children of 15 and 12. Also I had clumsily sprained my ankle the day before and he was so thoughtful in finding elevators for me to more easily navigate. We had wonderful conversations about peace (and lack there of) in these current times. Beautifully done, very introspective! I highly recommend.

“Cva” loves his job and it shows. He was energetic, he has a great speaking presence and intense interest in the topics. He presented the information from a balanced and unbiased standpoint and frequently engaged the group with provocative questions and conversation. A job well done, this guide left us all feeling like we had walked on a journey in time all the way to the 1800’s and the origins of the Pacific WW2 conflict. Our group included also one Japanese national who appreciated Cva’s approach and content. The tour does not enter the museum but we went the next day. The museum was worth it but it was also a much longer time-commitment. Cva did touch on much of the content in his tour but it is nevertheless a powerful experience to hear more stories from primary sources.

Cva was a great guide, very knowledgeable and unbiased presentation of the history leading out to Hiroshima. This is an experience that makes a mark on you.
