Per one customer who booked the Hiroshima City 4hr Private Walking Tour with Licensed Guide, "Mari was wonderful—sweet, prepared, and deeply considerate. We visited Shukkeien Garden, Peace Memorial Park, and the Peace Memorial Museum, with a mid-tour stop for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (delicious!!). She handled the difficult history with care and respect and answered questions clearly. We finished feeling informed and hopeful. Highly recommended."

Tours in and around Hiroshima come in a range of prices. At the low end, you can book walking tours for around US$25 per person, though they'll be limited in scope and short—typically around two hours. Longer walking tours and cooking classes cost a bit more, around US$80. Of course, private and full-day tours are more expensive.

For a good overview of Hiroshima at the lower end of the scale, book a tour like this History of Hiroshima Group Walking Tour, which covers the impact of the atomic bombing across two hours for US$33 per person. If you're hoping for a private tour, try the Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle, which lets you tailor your itinerary to include city highlights and other stops like Miyajima Island (Itsukushima). As a full-day tour for just your group, it costs a lot more at US$1,300 per group of up to four people.

Hiroshima tours include a range of experiences, such as visiting memorials and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, exploring Miyajima Island's iconic shrine, and guided walks through historic districts. Some tours add active options, such as morning bike adventures, private city walks with a licensed guide, and even local cooking classes where you can learn to prepare regional dishes.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Hiroshima Luxurious Private Tour with English Guide takes you beyond the main landmarks during a customizable private tour. This small-group experience is tailored to your interests, combining major highlights with lesser-known local spots for a more personal and flexible way to discover the city.

Two days in Hiroshima is enough for most travelers to visit the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, explore the city center, and take a day trip to Miyajima Island. Consider staying three days if you prefer a slower pace or want to add food experiences or nearby excursions.
