About this activity

I'm Pancho (Tetsuo Hamano), a 5.0-rated licensed English-speaking guide born and raised in Hiroshima. This private half-day walk (about 4 hours) covers Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the hypocenter area, and nearby city sites most visitors miss. I'm a second-generation A-bomb survivor. If you ask, I share how my father and grandparents survived 1945 as ordinary life afterward—not a horror lecture. We talk as we walk: peace history when it matters, plus modern Hiroshima, Japanese culture, and food. I adapt the pace and itinerary to you, including vegan and gluten-free (GF) options. Your questions steer the day. Families welcome. Ask about daily Japan too.

Peace Museum: I do not guide inside. You may visit privately after we cover the park monuments in conversation.

Walking tour by public transport or taxi from Hiroshima Station or your hotel. Optional lunch (extra). Skip a lecture-only day. Just you and me—your private group.
