You’ll visit several important sites—including the Rest House (a building damaged by the atomic bomb), the hypocenter, and the Atomic Bomb Dome—while listening to explanations from your guide. This part of the tour serves as an introduction to the main experience at Mitaki Temple. It helps you better understand the reality of the atomic bombing and provides context for the stories and places you’ll encounter later in the Mitaki area. After the walk, we’ll take a local bus near the Atomic Bomb Dome at 1:36 PM to the Mitaki area. The ride takes about 18 minutes, although this may vary depending on traffic conditions.

After getting off the bus, we’ll walk to Mitaki Temple. It normally takes about 10 minutes on foot, but we’ll go at a relaxed pace, stopping at a few interesting spots along the way while listening to the guide’s explanations. At Mitaki Temple (admission included), your guide will lead you through the serene mountain grounds. Along the way, you’ll see preserved atomic-bombed buildings, a striking pagoda that symbolizes the temple, numerous stone Buddhist statues, and monuments engraved with peace and remembrance. Through these sites, you'll gain insight into the spirit of Hiroshima — a city that once thrived as a military center, was deeply scarred by the atomic bombing, and has since been reborn as a symbol of peace. After enjoying the walk around Mitaki Temple, we’ll walk about 15 minutes to Mitaki Station and take the train back to Central Hiroshima.
