Hiroshima WWII Car Tour – Yamato Museum & Peace Memorial Museum

Trace the timeline from Japan’s wartime past to Hiroshima’s devastation, and uncover why this city became the site of the world’s first atomic bombing. This private car tour for up to three guests takes you to the Yamato Museum in Kure, a historic city that served as a major base of the former Imperial Navy. At the museum, you will see how Japan moved toward war and how ordinary people were drawn into it, through engineering, industry, and personal stories. The 1/10 scale Yamato, the largest battleship ever built, and the authentic Zero fighter make this history feel real. For lunch, enjoy either the famous JMSDF curry or Hiroshima’s beloved okonomiyaki. Afterward, we see the iconic Atomic Bomb Dome and then visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to learn the reality of the atomic bombing. Your Guide I am a U.S. university graduate and a Hiroshima‑licensed guide who has led more than 200 tours. I will drive and guide you throughout the day. I look forward to seeing you soon.
