On arrival

Our tour begins at the Peace Statues / Tanka Monument in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a central and easy-to-find landmark. Here’s how you can reach us:

1. By Tram: Take tram line 2 or 6 from Hiroshima Station and get off at the Genbaku Dome-mae stop. From there, it’s a short 5-minute walk to the Gates of Peace, located near the southern end of the park.

2. By Bus: If you’re using the Hiroshima Sightseeing Loop Bus (Meipuru-pu), get off at the Atomic Bomb Dome stop, and you’ll be just a short walk from our meeting point.

3. By Foot: If you're already in central Hiroshima, the park is a pleasant walk from most hotels and the bustling Hondori Shopping Street, taking around 15 minutes.

Once you arrive at the Peace Statues / Tanka Monument near the Conference Hall, look for your guide, who will be holding a sign with the tour name for easy identification. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start time to ensure a prompt departure.
