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 Driver was great to work with. There were a couple of places that we did not want to go so our driver quickly adapted and moved on to the next location.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ken. Ken knew all the right sports and viewpoints. Despite the rain and clouds blocking the views Ken made the cable car ride up Mount Misen a memorable experience. He was a terrific guide and explained everything making the visit enjoyable and memorable.
