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.

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.

Latest reviews from our guests

Booking this tour was seamless. The host will confirm right after the booking is made and they don't make one tour crowded 1-4 persons. The Miyajima walking tour was an incredible blend of history and natural beauty. Every step revealed something fascinating, from the famous Torii Gate to the ancient temples surrounded by stunning scenery. What made it special was how the host personalized it for me, making sure I got to see what interested me the most. It was flexible, allowing me to take my time at each spot and really soak in the experience. This tour didn't just show me Miyajima; it made me feel connected to its stories and landscapes, leaving me with unforgettable memories.
