Activity itinerary

Shukkei-en Garden

1h
Admission ticket included

Step into a world of timeless tranquility at Shukkeien, a historic Japanese garden built in 1620 by the local samurai lord. Its name literally means "shrunken-scenery garden," as it skilfully reproduces miniature landscapes of mountains, valleys, and forests around a central scenic pond. Stroll along winding paths, cross traditional bridges, and enjoy seasonal beauty—from delicate cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant maple leaves in autumn. Having survived the 1945 atomic bombing, this serene oasis stands today as a powerful symbol of resilience and peace. Conveniently located near Hiroshima Station, it is the perfect cultural stop before or after exploring the Peace Memorial area.

Atomic Bomb Dome

The Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome) is one of the world’s most poignant reminders of the tragic consequences of nuclear warfare and a powerful symbol of everlasting peace. Originally built in 1915 as an industrial promotion hall, the structure unexpectedly survived the blast of the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, directly underneath the epicentre. Preserved in the exact state as it was immediately after the bombing, this UNESCO World Heritage Site stands today to convey the horrors of war while embodying humanity’s hope for a peaceful, nuclear-free world. Located in the heart of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, it is an essential, unforgettable stop for every traveller visiting Japan.

Peace Memorial Park - Hiroshima

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to honouring the victims of the atomic bombing and promoting peace. Within the park stands the Atomic Bomb Dome, preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of the devastation of war. Nearby, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum presents artefacts and testimonies that convey the reality of the bombing, encouraging visitors to reflect on the importance of peace.

Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims

Located next to the Peace Memorial Museum, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims offers a quiet, solemn space to reflect on the human cost of the atomic bombing. The hall honours the memory of those who lost their lives, preserving their names, photos, and personal memoirs for future generations. Highlights include the striking Hall of Remembrance, which features a 360-degree panoramic view of Hiroshima as it looked after the bombing, built using 140,000 tiles to represent the estimated number of victims by the end of 1945. It is an essential, emotionally powerful visit for travellers seeking a deeper understanding of Hiroshima’s personal stories.
