Hiroshima Ancient and Modern
The overall plan for a day in Hiroshima: Join me on a very memorable stroll through its ancient history via the "shrine island" Miyajima, designated one of the three most scenic sites in Japan and a World Heritage Site.
Afterward, we'll return to Central Hiroshima to learn about its modern history with a tour of Peace Memorial Park and its monuments and museums including the Atomic Bomb Dome; however, if desired, I am happy to discuss customising your tour to include other attractions in my town.
**The order of attractions may differ on the day depending on tides to provide the best possible experience opportunity for guests.
Highly experienced professional guide fluent in the local language, providing anecdotes, stories, and in-depth easily understandable facts and information.
As an experienced tour leader throughout Japan, I am also happy to assist your visit and provide itinerary information for your interest in other regions, cities, and towns in Japan.
