(11 reviews)
Hiroshima, Japan

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

【Discover another side of Hiroshima】
Ideal for travelers staying 2+ nights who want to explore local neighborhoods, historic streets, and everyday Japanese culture beyond the main tourist attractions. Experience the everyday side of Hiroshima that most visitors never see.

Smart Itinerary Tip: The Peace Museum is often extremely crowded in the morning. Explore Hiroshima’s hidden backstreets with me first, then visit the Peace Park and Museum later in the afternoon when it's usually much quieter.

• Warm and relaxed experience for solo travelers
• Leisurely pace, perfect for senior travelers and couples

Note: For the Hiroshima Station option, the tram fare (240 JPY/person) to the city center is excluded, and the total duration may take 30 minutes longer. If you are arriving by Shinkansen, please let me know your arrival time. I'll be happy to adjust the start time for you!
