Full description
In Hiroshima City, there are many heritage sites in the suburbs in addition to the Peace Memorial Park, each with a story connected to the atomic bombing. While at the heritage site of the bombing, we will introduce you to the power of the atomic bomb and the situation at the time. 70 years after the war, the destroyed Hiroshima has been dramatically revitalized, and now you can see it full of greenery. You can get a real sense of it through your own eyes, and cycling is the best way to do that.

A really great tour seeing the main sights as well as other more off the beaten track locations. An insight into the recovery of Hiroshima following the A-bomb and the resilience of the people. Very knowledgeable and passionate guides complimented the tour with personal stories and reflections. Don’t miss it.

Die 3stündige Velotour zu wichtigen Orten von Hiroshima mit Tomomi war äusserst interessant. Wir haben von ihr viel erfahren über Hiroshima in der Vergangenheit und die positive Haltung heute. Dank Tomomi werden wir diesen Tag in besonderer Erinnerung behalten.
