## Why we picked it

Most Hiroshima tours rush through the Peace Park. This one takes five hours with a local guide who lives in the city, so you get context and personal stories rather than just dates. The paper crane folding at the end turns reflection into action, and the included lunch means you can focus on the experience.

## What you will do

Walk Hiroshima's World Heritage sites with a guide who lives there. You visit the Peace Memorial Museum, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and the Children's Peace Monument, and fold paper cranes at the end.

You meet your guide at 3:00 PM outside the Mont-Bell store near Kamiyacho Station. From there you walk through the city center, past the Sumitomo Bank and the Former Bank of Japan, hearing how Hiroshima rebuilt after 1945.

The walk takes you to the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, where you see exhibits on the bombing and its aftermath. Your guide shares stories of the city's recovery and the people who shaped it. You stop at the Cenotaph, the Children's Peace Monument, and the Atomic Bomb Dome, each with its own history.

At the end you fold paper cranes at the Orizuru Tower, a quiet act that connects you to the peace message. Lunch is included, with a vegan option available. The tour lasts five hours and covers about 4 kilometers of flat ground.
