Let a local be your guide

On Hiroshima walking tours, it’s easy to get drawn into the sights that symbolize the city’s well-documented tragedy, like the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Park. But the city is overflowing with hidden secrets and holes-in-the-wall that can only be explored on walking tours of Hiroshima with a local guide. Whether you jostle through the crowded Hondori shopping arcade, soak up the city’s neon-lit nightlife and restaurant scene, or admire treasures that once belonged to samurai lords at Hiroshima Castle, the best walking tours in Hiroshima show you the local lifestyle.

Take the road less traveled

Anyone with Google and a guidebook can explore the heart of Hiroshima, where many of the city’s must-see attractions congregate. But who says sightseeing needs to stick to the tourist trail? Our walking tours in Hiroshima still let you see the top attractions – but you might take the roads less traveled between them. Whether you hop on the ferry to see the temples and shrines of Miyajima Island, take the train to Yamato Museum, or stop off to sample Hiroshima Okonomiyaki at a tiny restaurant loved by locals, there’s so much to experience on the best walking tours in Hiroshima with us.

Get a taste of locals-only life

Our Hiroshima walking tours aren’t limited to the city’s top sights, because they alone can’t paint the fullest picture of the city. In fact, to truly experience the local lifestyle is to taste it! Japan is a country known for food, but Hiroshima still stands out – and on Hiroshima walking food tours, you’ll soon understand why. Our “Eat like a local in Hiroshima” experience lets you try Hiroshima’s version of iconic Onomiyaki and sample oysters at their freshest at a local market. End your Hiroshima walking food tours with a craft beer or a traditional tea ceremony you won’t soon forget.

Our awesome guide Yuka showed us around Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. It was really nice to have someone more familiar with the area and transportation system so we could avoid wasting time figuring out the routes ourselves. She picked us up at our hotel on time (earlier even), and we managed to see everything we wanted to see in one day - with time to spare! Before the trip, Yuka was also very helpful in informing us of the possible expenses, and the routes we could choose from to get the best experience vs. a more affordable adventure. She also took really nice photos for us. Overall, the tour was educational, relaxed, fun, and highly customisable to our preferences! Highly recommend Yuka as your guide!
