Overview

Looking for a deeper way to experience Hiroshima? Join us for a friendly walking tour hosted by Hello Hiroshima, the volunteer group based at Hiroshima Station. We are not professional guides — we are your BUDDIES, local residents who want to share our city and make your journey in Hiroshima truly special. Walk historic streets, cross centuries-old bridges, visit A-bombed trees, and see Memorial Cathedral for World Peace and Fukuya Department Store— all while learning about Hiroshima’s resilience, culture, and daily life. Perfect for travelers who want a warm, authentic experience beyond sightseeing. Walk side by side with locals and discover not only Hiroshima’s history but also its culture and everyday life. For those wishing to learn about the authentic Hiroshima while interacting with locals, this tour is highly recommended.
