Spend your time in the Park!
Relax285033, October 2026
The guide was great and the bikes were fun, but I would recommend skipping the bikes and spending all your time in Peace Memorial Park with a tour guide. The additional sites you see because you have a bike really aren't that great - not worth the time and effort.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide
kevinwY884FU, October 2026

Learning the importance of peace through cycling
Wander49013416163, October 2026
I was drawn into the guide's story. It was a cycling tour that made both first-time visitors to Hiroshima and residents of Hiroshima want to tell someone about what they heard or experienced by participating in the tour. You will take me to local places other than the Peace Memorial Park. It was a day that made me think about the importance of peace.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A tour that surprises even local residents
FarAway37411148032, October 2026
I am from Hiroshima City and still work in Hiroshima City, but I used the tour due to my work. I had received peace education in Hiroshima since I was in elementary school, and I thought I knew a lot, but it was a tour where I learned new things and was often struck by things. The guide explained things carefully, and it was very educational. I felt this tour is recommended not only for those visiting Hiroshima for the first time, but also for those who already know Hiroshima to some extent.

We would give this ten stars if we could!! Great experience. Kana, our guide, is incredible! So knowledgeable and shared such insightful details and personal stories from survivors. She answered all of our questions and we had great discussions at every stop. I think this tour helps you see points of interest you might miss if you're on your own. The electric bikes were top notch and Kana did a great job of making sure we felt safe and knew what we were doing. This is an amazing experience and we loved spending time with Kana!
