What Is a Private Hiroshima Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

Rain had been forecast for the day, but it turned out to be only a light drizzle, so the fresh green of the trees at Peace Memorial Park and Shukkeien Garden looked vivid, and the guests were delighted. The inside of the Atomic Bomb Museum was quite crowded, so there was a lot of time spent waiting and standing in line, and the guests looked a little tired. However, they said they had learned a great deal at Peace Memorial Park.

When I took them to Okonomimura for lunch, they were impressed by the Japanese atmosphere of the restaurant and the deliciousness of the okonomiyaki.

As a guide, I was also able to learn many things. Thank you very much.

I had not taken any photos during the guiding, so I only had a photo of the cruise ship. I sincerely apologize for this. From next time, I will make sure to take photos during the tour.
