At this deeply sorrowful yet hopeful site covering the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Museum, the tour will be about sharing the details of the historic tragedy and its aftermath of the 1945 bombing, and stories behind them.
During the guided tour of over 3 hours, you will be educated and encouraged to open your eyes and get your own insights through what you really see, hear, feel and think about the historical legacy which is essential to be handed down from generation to generation worldwide.
As for myself,as an Osaka born Japanese language specialist, I heard heart breaking yet impressive stories from my late parents and aunt who used to be partly rooted in Hiroshima. I'd like to share their personal episodes with enthusiastic listeners on behalf of them.
Looking forward to meeting you in this city of people’s unbelievable bravery and hope of survivrng the Ground Zero.
Part of the profit that I receive will be donated to the city of Hiroshima to support the casualties.
What's Included
