Hiroshima Castle

Hiroshima Castle, also known as Carp Castle, is a historic landmark in Hiroshima, Japan. Originally constructed in the 1590s, it served as the home of the daimyō (feudal lord) of the Hiroshima han (domain). The castle was an important military and administrative center until it was destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945. It has since been reconstructed and now functions as a museum that offers insights into Hiroshima's history, Japanese feudal architecture, and the samurai culture of the Edo period. The castle's grounds, surrounded by a moat and lush gardens, provide a scenic walk and a peaceful retreat from the modern city surrounding it.

Great walking tour for solo travellers to Hiroshima

Nicely paced tour around the key sights in Hiroshima. Our tour guide, Chisa, was really passionate about explaining the history, bravely sharing some personal stories too from her family which added great context to the experience. It was low season, and there were 3 solo travellers on the tour, but Chisa helped everyone to get to know each other. Thank you Chisa!

Wonderful and informative tour with Katya. Learned so much about the history of Hiroshima both before and after 1945. She made a walk on a very very cold January day enjoyable.
