Hiroshima: Peace Park & Okonomiyaki (Henkutsuya) — Guide Kimy

What's a Private Hiroshima Peace Park Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visitors from North America, traveling abroad after a major life milestone. It was their first time in Japan, and they had already visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Himeji Castle the day before coming to Hiroshima. Although it rained in Hiroshima, they listened attentively throughout the Peace Park tour. We had also planned to visit Shukkeien Garden, but since they wished to see the Peace Memorial Museum, we waited quite a while to enter the museum and gave up on Shukkeien. For okonomiyaki, we went to a well-known restaurant near their accommodation, and they very much enjoyed the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. They were pleasant to talk with, and I was able to guide them in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
