Self-Guided Walking Tours in Hiroshima

1 free self-guided walking tour, with an audio guide at every stop.

Hiroshima is a city of remembrance and renewal. Our self-guided GPS walking tours lead you through the Peace Memorial Park, the A-Bomb Dome, and the modern boulevards rebuilt after 1945, with audio narration explaining the events, the survivors' voices, and the global peace movement that emerged from this place.

Beyond the monuments, Hiroshima offers a layered urban heritage — from castle grounds to the Shukkeien strolling garden — that reveals how a feudal castle town became a symbol of reconciliation. Audio narration adds the cultural and political context that maps and signage rarely provide.

Perfect for independent travelers, our GPS-based walks allow you to move at your own pace through one of Japan's most meaningful destinations, finding the quiet corners where reflection feels most honest.
