Explore Hiroshima's poignant past and its enduring message of peace.
Begin at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, where millions of brightly colored paper cranes are brought annually to the Children's Peace Monument, symbolizing hope and reconciliation. Reflect on the global impact of the events commemorated here.
Visit the Peace Memorial Museum to learn about the devastation caused by the atomic bombing. Through exhibits and survivor artifacts, gain a deeper understanding of the destruction and resilience of Hiroshima's people. View haunting images of shadows etched into buildings and sidewalks, reminders of the catastrophic moment in history.
Continue to the Shukkeien Gardens, whose name translates into English as "shrink scenery." A feudal lord built the gardens in 1620, modeled after a landscape in Shukkeien, China. As the name implies, they are a stunning miniature landscape of forests, valleys and mountains. Stroll through the gardens along pathways and over bridges, winding your way to a pond with an oasis of teahouses and waterfalls.
From here, you'll head back to the pier. Relax as you reflect on a full day of events on the ride back to the ship.
Notes:
Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations . Wear comfortable walking shoes. The Museum exhibits sensitive material, including some very graphic images and displays; photography is not permitted. Expect crowding at the museum. Due to crowd levels, visibility of the exhibits may be limited at the museum. Unfamiliar accents can be challenging; feel free to ask your guide to repeat or elaborate on information, and to speak more slowly so you can fully comprehend and converse. Tour sequence may vary.
