A very informative and interesting tour with my guide Moe. Her family went through what happened and she gave a very personal view how the people of Hiroshima coped right after the bomb dropped and how the city recovered many years after. A must for anyone who visits the city.

ガイドのShinさんのライフストーリーを通して見た広島は、希望の象徴でした✨
戦争とは、平和とは、人間とは、さまざまな問いが頭の中を巡り、それをガイドの方と共に言葉を捻り出しながら言語化していくことは、自分にとってとてもすばらしい体験でした。
終わってからも、仕事とは、母とは、自分には何が残せるだろうか、と、考え続けています。
最高の2時間をありがとうございました！

Exceptional tour with Shin our guide. He personalized it with great in depth knowledge, shared memories of his family who survived the A-Bomb and threw in some good humour too. He took us to many points of interest and it was a very easy safe e-bike ride that lasted just over 2 hours. A wonder...
