Rest House in Peace Memorial Park, riverside entrance

Why it is on this site

It goes beyond the central park: at Mitaki-dera you ring the temple bell, touch water used in peace ceremonies and walk on atomic-bombed tram stones, as the operator describes.
A licensed guide leads no more than six guests; the bus out, the train back and the temple entry fee are included.
32 reviews average 5.0.

Best for

Travellers who have seen the Peace Park before, or who want a quieter, more personal way into Hiroshima's story.

Think twice if

It does not include the Peace Memorial Museum. The operator says it is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. It ends by train at central Hiroshima, Yokogawa or Hakushima rather than back at the start, so plan your tram back to the ship.

What the operator lists

The day, stop by stop

1 hr 4 minBefore it was a park, this neighborhood was a busy place with many houses, shops, and the sounds of daily life. In a single flash on August 6, 1945, that world vanished.
2 hr 50 minAfter the bus ride and a 10-minute walk, the air changes as you enter the temple grounds. This sanctuary is home to lush nature, three waterfalls, and hundreds of stone statues. With me, you will uncover the untold stories linking this sanctuary to the atomic bombing.

Included

Licensed Local Guide: Friendly, professional guide sharing stories in clear, simple English.
Transportation: Bus to the Mitaki area and train back to central Hiroshima, Yokogawa or Hakushima.
Admission: Entrance fee for Mitaki-dera Temple.
A special item to share your message: Having a loved one's address may enhance your experience.

Not included

Walking can make you thirsty, so we recommend bringing bottled water or other drinks to stay hydrated during the walk or at breaks.

Guide languages: English. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by 株式会社成研.
