Hiroshima Shore Excursions & Cruise Excursions

Through the creation of Peace Memorial Park and Peace Memorial Museum, the residents of Hiroshima have developed educational and heartfelt tributes to their community through photos and artifacts.

The Atomic Bomb Dome was built in the exact spot where the the bomb was released, and it is a harrowing reminder of the past. For the residents of Hiroshima before and after the war, peace became the primary objective in creating these memorial sites and sharing their story with Asia cruise passengers and visitors from all over the world.
