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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour in Hiroshima. The locations were thoughtfully chosen and offered a compelling look into the city’s history and culture. Each stop was interesting on its own, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our tour guide. Articulate, knowledgeable, and engaging, she brought every site to life with insightful stories and clear explanations. Her passion for Hiroshima’s heritage was evident and added a meaningful depth to the tour. I left with a much richer understanding of the city, and I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting. It’s an outstanding tour, thanks to an outstanding guide.

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide (Thomas) was extremely knowledgable, and provided a great mix of historical and contemporary information about Hiroshima and its people, including some fun personal anecdotes. It was nice to see several historic sights with plenty of interesting information and useful context provided along the way.

Chihiro was a marvellous guide who detailed the history of Hiroshima and gave the background to why the atomic bomb was dropped here. She answered all the questions that I had on Japan in general. Her English was extraordinary good.
