Meeting Point
In the lobby of your hotel or Hiroshima JR station
A symbol of hope for global peace / Peace Memorial Park & Museum
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a powerful tribute to the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and a symbol of hope for global peace. Located close to the epicenter of the blast, the park is home to several important monuments, including the Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Cenotaph, which holds the names of those who perished.
At the heart of the park is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which offers a moving and educational experience. Through exhibits of artifacts, photographs, and personal stories, the museum details the devastation caused by the atomic bomb and its aftermath, while promoting a message of peace and nuclear disarmament.
The park's serene atmosphere invites both quiet contemplation and remembrance, making it a must-visit for anyone coming to Hiroshima.
Ancient beauty/ Floating Torii Gate and Itsukushima Shrine
The Floating Torii Gate is the iconic symbol of Itsukushima Shrine, located on the sacred island of Miyajima. The torii appears to float on the water during high tide, creating a stunning visual effect, while at low tide, visitors can walk right up to it.
Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over water and is dedicated to Shinto deities. Its elegant wooden structures, connected by boardwalks, are designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the island.
The shrine and torii gate offer a serene and picturesque experience, blending history, spirituality, and nature.
Feel the ancient breeze / Five-storied Pagoda and Senjokaku
The Five-storied Pagoda, built in 1407, is a striking blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles, offering beautiful view of the island.
*The pagoda is currently under renovation and covered by the cloth.
Nearby, Senjokaku or "Pavilion of 1,000 (tatami) Mats" is a spacious, unfinished wooden hall originally intended as a Buddhist library, known for its serene atmosphere and historical significance.
Lunch (Okonomiyaki or something else)
Enjoy local specialties such as Okonomiyaki, oyster, sea eel, curry bread etc.
Buddha's wonderland / Daishoin-Temple or Daiganji-Temple
Daishoin Temple, located at the base of Mt. Misen, is one of the island's most significant Buddhist temples. Founded in 806 by the monk Kukai, it features a serene complex of halls, statues, and pathways. Visitors can explore its intricate stone steps lined with spinning prayer wheels, peaceful meditation halls, and beautiful gardens.
Daiganji Temple on Miyajima is a historic Buddhist temple closely associated with the island’s spiritual heritage and the worship of Benzaiten, the goddess of music, eloquence, and fortune. It has long been a place of prayer for safe voyages and prosperity, especially for people connected to the sea.
Omotesando-Shopping Street
Explore the Omotesando shopping street, the main street of Miyajima, with many souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. On weekends and holidays, there are many stores lined along the street. "Okonomiyaki", "conger eel", "grilled fish cake", and fresh "oyster", etc. Local food will satisfy your stomach for sure. Plus, as a dessert, "Momiji Manju" is a must-taste.

“Ein sehr schöner Tag in Hiroshima mit Keiko”
Was für ein schöner und sehr informativer Tag in Hiroshima mit Keiko. Der Ausflug wurde in deutscher Sprache durchgeführt und wir können Keiko wirklich sehr empfehlen. Sie hat sehr ausführlich und interessant alles beschrieben und erklärt.Besser hätte unserer Tag in Hiroshima nicht sein können. Vielen Dank dafür.

Heute hat es mir viel Spaß gemacht, den Tag mit Ihnen zu verbringen. Ich war etwas nervös, weil ich lange kein Deutsch gesprochen habe, aber danke für Ihr Verständnis für meine Aussprache! Ich werde mein „ö“ weiter üben, haha. Wie hat Ihnen eigentlich der Erdbeer-Montblanc geschmeckt? Ich vermisse manchmal deutsche Kuchen wie Donauwelle und Rhabarberkuchen. Kommen Sie gerne wieder nach Hiroshima – beim nächsten Mal zeige ich Ihnen die Sake-Brauereien! Liebe Grüße, Keiko

“Wonderful guide!”
Kay was waiting for us as we disembarked the ferry. Her communication during the booking process and leading up to our tour was excellent. It was a very wet day but Kay was very thoughtful & accommodating to ensure we were able to see as much as possible. Her passion for her city was infectious and her explanation of the atrocities of the atomic bomb were numbing. We had a great time with Kay and loved her knowledge, passion and sense of humour. We would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a wonderful, insightful and enjoyable day.
Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I truly had a wonderful time with all four of you—it was such a fun experience. I’m still laughing when I think about all those (so many!) Australian jokes! I feel very happy and grateful that I could share even a small part of your special time together. Please come visit Hiroshima again—I’ll make sure to find an even more fun slide for you next time! Hugs, Kay

Keiko was waiting for us in the cruise line terminal and had organised a taxi so we were quickly on our way. Unbelievably knowledgeable about all of the devastating history of this city . She make the morning enjoyable and informative.

Although yesterday was beautiful and sunny, the weather turned rainy today. I truly regret that I couldn’t take you to more places. However, meeting you both and having such lovely conversations was the highlight of the tour for me. I sincerely hope you will visit Hiroshima again—I would be delighted to welcome you back. Warmly, Keiko

Hiroshima: A journey of memory, Resilience and Peace
If you are visiting Hiroshima to learn about peace, I truly hope you will experience something deeper than simply walking through the Peace Memorial Museum. Hiroshima is not only a place of tragedy, but also a city of resilience, compassion, and recovery. On this tour, I will take you not only to the famous landmarks, but also to special hidden places —such as Schmoe House—places that reveal the lesser-known stories of Hiroshima and make your experience truly personal and unforgettable.
