Private Hiroshima Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, 100% Personalised
Hiroshima has a dark past that precedes it but other than the infamous A-bomb dome site, there are a few hidden gems that only a local would be able to show you. From Yamato Museum where you can learn about the largest battleship in the world and explore a collection of authentic relics from World War II with the Kure port as your encompassing sea views. If submarines are more up your alley, the JMSDF Kure Museum awaits, four floors designed as a huge submarine make the outside as intriguing as the inside. Try their famed Navy Curry as you bite into history, with its origin inside the battleships of the Meiji Era, more than a century ago.
