Beginning near the famous Peace Park your guide will take you through the streets and shopping arcades of downtown Hiroshima. Experience local hospitality and try the dishes this city has become famous for across Japan. Of course, we will try classic Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki but with your guide, you will also try local snacks and other specialties you’re sure to love. Visit a classic “village-inside-a-building” of teppanyaki yumminess and finish up with a surprising “old-meets-new dessert stop.”
Many people know the history of Hiroshima but meeting the people and visiting this city will be an eye-opener. Hiroshima’s commitment to peace around the world has made it one of the friendliest places in Japan. People genuinely want to share their stories, welcome you to their city, and share with you not just the history of this place but show you what the city has become and how it looks into the future.
From fanatical sports fans and soul food professionals to wide streets with friendly shop owners, local crafts, and a welcoming spirit, this city should be on your MUST-SEE list. Don’t just come for the peace park and the famous Miyajima island, let us show you the local side of Hiroshima.
There are endlessly delicious memories to be made here. Get off the beaten track and explore Hiroshima culture through the food and friendly local atmosphere.

For Vegetarians:
Some food that we serve may have dashi, a soup stock made from kelp (seaweed) and bonito (skipjack tuna) as well as other ingredients. Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and is used in many/most Japanese dishes. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your dietary needs if you cannot consume dashi. Additionally, please inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy products.
If you cannot consume Dashi, we recommend booking a private tour with us and we can offer some alternatives. Again, be aware, it will still be a challenge to 100% avoid fish stock.
We had extra time in Hiroshima and we were so glad we discovered this food tour. Our guide was a long-term local expert and all the food was so yummy.
