Overview

What sets my Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park tour apart is the personal, immersive experience I offer. Beyond the usual historical facts, my tour dives into survivor stories and lesser-known monuments, like the Memorial Tower to the Mobilised Students, shedding light on untold narratives. I encourage reflection and discussion, engaging visitors emotionally with the park’s powerful message. By weaving history with human connection, my tour doesn’t just inform—it leaves a lasting impression, inspiring deeper empathy and a stronger commitment to global peace and nuclear disarmament.
