Hiroshima residents ingeniously created it using affordable ingredients to satisfy their hunger. More than just a meal, it offered hope to citizens striving for recovery from desperate circumstances. Today, it's a soul food beloved by Hiroshima citizens, symbolizing the city's resilient spirit and culture. We developed this menu with the desire to make Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki more accessible and familiar to international visitors.

What are people saying about Hiroshima

Katherine_T, Nov 2026

Excellent personalized tour!

Lucky was an incredible tour guide. She was as very communicative and gave us clear instructions to meet up. We had to be back at our cruise ship by a certain time but wanted to do the Peace Park and museum on our own first, and Lucky tailored the tour to Miyajima perfectly. She also took us to eat oysters and conger eel—highly recommend booking if you like seafood!!

We had such a great...

We had such a great experience with our guide, Sei. He was incredibly knowledgable about Hiroshima and each location we went (Miyajima, Shukkeien gardens, and the Peace Park). We learned so much more than if we had just gone by ourselves and we really enjoyed getting to know Sei as well!

Anytime again!

It was a super beautiful day! Our tour guide, Chihomi, explained a lot to us and answered all questions perfectly! We had enough time to look at the various spots in peace; the sights and the landscape were very impressive. The museum and the Atomic Bomb Dome were naturally depressing, but Chii-chan told us the important history and how important it is not to forget it.

Best Tour Because of Masa!

This tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. Our guide Masa was absolutely wonderful and made it so special! She guided us through the Peace Memorial Museum, the Peace Park, and the Dome with incredible knowledge and sensitivity, It was a very emotional experience, and she handled with with grace, knowledge and heart. She didn’t just give us facts, she gave us context, history and human stories that made it all so much more meaningful. Beyond that, Masa was just a joy to be around. Funny, kind and so generous in sharing her culture. We loved learning about Japanese customs from her, her introduction to a fun local favorite okonomiyaki eatery, and hearing about her family and life in Hiroshima. It made the city feel so much more personal. We would be remiss not to mention our driver. He was so professional, polite and accommodating.

Horror and Hope

This was an eye opening experience. I've always known about the date and the numbers, but this tour really helps illustrate the impact on the people who lived and died on the ground. It was a horrible day and the aftermath was just as bad. But, after all the pain and suffering comes the hope for peace and the efforts of a city to prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again. Our guide was well versed in the details of the event and pointed out things that would be easy to miss if you were just walking through the park.

My experience on Miyashima Island

The tour can be tiring because it's quite a long journey, but it didn't feel overwhelming thanks to the air-conditioned bus and the tour guide Angeles's efficient planning of necessary breaks throughout the tour. Angeles provided detailed explanations on every topic that came to mind during the tour. Although the tour was given in both English and Spanish, there wasn't a single sentence that was confusing or that I didn't understand. If there was anything missing or a problem, they quickly contacted me via email. It was one of the best tours I've ever done in Japan.

Good 2-part tour....

Good 2-part tour. Hiroshima Peace Park was a great place, though it was a little crowded, lots of school children. The Peace Museum has a large permanent exhibition of photos, artefacts and records, maybe take care deciding whether to bring kids here. But for us the real highlight was Miyajima, we would have loved to have spent more time there. Our guide was great, lots of information and interesting stories to share.
