Anyone who wants a calm, hands-on hour after the Peace Memorial Museum.
It is a class, not a tour: you get yourself there and back. From the Ujina berth that is a 32-37 minute tram ride each way, and from Itsukaichi a taxi plus train or tram.
It takes place at one venue, so there is no route to list.
Guide languages: English, Japanese. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by 平和都市広島で書道体験.
Booked through Viator (a Tripadvisor company). There is rarely a tour desk at the pier, so book before you sail.
