Hiroshimagokoku Shrine
Visitors begin their experience at Hiroshima Gogoku Shrine by exploring its elegant architecture and tranquil surroundings. Originally established to enshrine the protective deities of Hiroshima domain, the shrine now also serves as a place of solace and remembrance for those affected by historical events.
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.

5.00Today on the 6th of March we made the Hiroshima PeaceTour with Tomo. In a nutshell Tomo was great . She was well prepared and organised.She has the plan of the tour in mind a therefore every milestone of the tour went well and always on time. Her explanation to the special places were informative and had a clear wording. She speaks English very well which means no understanding problems for German non native English Speakers. All in all a brilliant performance. Well done. Curd

5.00Thomas is very calm and clear speaking and a good pace too , everything was clear and concise without any waffle , he told it all as it was in a very easy to understand way . I wish my history teacher was like that as I d have paid more attention. We covered all the important stops along the way and he gave us detailed accounts of history perfectly and was very respectful at the same time . We enjoyed the small part of his personal life and experience too . Well worth doing as you get more of an insight into what all the monuments and structures mean in Hiroshima without being boring too . Thank you so much Thomas and Viator 👍
Not to be missed when in Hiroshima

5.00My family and I had an amazing time with this lovely tour guide from Nagasaki. Her English was very good, she was smart and funny and even shared some very powerful insights with her personal perspective, considering that she was from Nagasaki, another area bombed right after Hiroshima. Just the right amount, along with a lot of History and curiosities. Thank you for an incredible tour!
