Embark on the Hiroshima Heritage: A Sonic Journey Through History and Harmony

A single shadow scorched into stone changed Hiroshima forever, yet secrets still echo between the cherry trees and silent monuments. Wander Naka-ku on a self-guided audio tour that reveals untold stories and hidden corners missed by rushing crowds.

Why did a child’s origami crane spark an international peace movement? Who dared to stand defiant when political forces clashed in these now peaceful paths? What secret symbol hides beneath the ashes of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum’s walls?

Walk in the footsteps of survivors and visionaries as tales of hope, tragedy, scandal and resilience come alive at every stop. Each step unlocks another chapter, carrying you from haunting reminders to uplifting tributes under the leafy canopy of Peace Memorial Park.

Dive into Hiroshima’s shadow and light—hit play and let the journey beneath the surface begin.
