Meeting at Hiroshima Station, we’ll take a short stroll to the nearby famed Shukkei-en Gardens, a classically landscaped garden landscape that mimics a variety of natural formations and scenic views of valleys, mountains, and forests in miniature encircling a large pond, established by the lord of Hiroshima fief in the 17th century. Then proceed on to stroll through the grounds of Hiroshima Castle and visit the interior museum working our way upwards to the top of the keep for a stunning panoramic view! The tour then continues on to our tour of Ground zero and the A-Bomb Dome and adjacent Peace Memorial Park, passing through the grounds of Hiroshima Castle for a stopover to get a picture along the way.  You might like to picnic lunch in the park or I’ll be happy to escort you to an okonomiyaki lunch afterward or help you with whatever information or guidance I may be able to.
