Do we go inside the Atomic Bomb Museum?

No. The route passes by the museum, but entering is not part of this tour. You are welcome to visit it on your own afterward.

What is the Hypocenter?

The Hypocenter marks the point above which the atomic bomb exploded on August 9, 1945. Standing there is one of the most powerful moments of the walk.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Families can join, and the guide adapts the storytelling to the group. Keep in mind that the subject matter is serious and may be intense for younger visitors.

Do I need tickets for any of the sites?

No. The walk keeps to the open memorial spaces of the park area, so no admission tickets are needed for this route.
