Top Hiroshima Prefecture Stand Up Paddleboarding

Contemplating Peace at 'Water Front City Hiroshima' This tour takes you down the rivers flowing through the city of Hiroshima towards the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Atomic Bomb Dome, covering a round trip of 3 km. Hiroshima City is characterized by six rivers that have played a significant role in its development due to its topography. In the past, the upper reaches of these rivers were bustling with charcoal iron manufacturing, and transporting iron materials to places like Osaka was an essential function of these rivers. However, everything changed drastically on August 6, 1945, when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Many lives were lost in the rivers, creating a distance between the people of Hiroshima and the rivers. Through this tour, feel the peace of present-day Hiroshima and enjoy the landscape that connects to the future by riding on SUP.
