Morning Hiking Tour: Mt. Futaba & Hiroshima's History (Breakfast Included)

1/1

A morning experience where you can enjoy the aftertaste!

It was in the form of training, but I really enjoyed participating! The experience in the forest was also wonderful, giving me a different perspective and feeling. And after climbing hard (it's not that hard♪) the view and the beautiful bento were still great! It’s such an experience that even after I get home, I suddenly remember having such a luxurious time!

I was able to fully enjoy the culture, history and nature in Mount Futaba, which is just a short distance from Hiroshima Station. The guide's explanation was very easy to understand and the overall coordination was great. I was very satisfied with the quantity and taste of the lunch box at the summit. This is a great activity for families and small groups.
