Although the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today. The residents of Hiroshima decided to keep this tragic reminder of war intact. The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1996. Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the suffering caused by war and nuclear weapons and the true value of peace.
Shukkeien Garden was designated as a National Site of Scenic Beauty in 1940 and it is also famous for its cherry blossoms and plum blossoms.There is a theory that the garden is said to be comprised of many picturesque scenes created in miniature, or that it is modeled on the West Lake in Hangzhou in China.
The tour will be conducted mainly by English materials such as a brochure and a pamphlet.

This was the best money we could have spent. We hired the taxi on 24 December for a 1-day trip. The driver was on time, polite, safe while driving in the snow, and overall a great person to take us around the sites outside of Aomori city. This was an unforgettable trip and I would recommend this to anyone!
