This two-hour guided bicycle ride, run by Attractive JAPAN, starts at the Rest House inside Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and uses electric bikes to cover ground quickly. After a short meet-up, the guide leads the group through the Peace Memorial Park, explaining the monuments, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and what happened to the city, before heading beyond the tourist core into the suburbs for about an hour of riding through the rebuilt present-day streetscape.
Along that stretch the guide points out A-Bombed streetcars, trains that survived the atomic bombing and still run today, giving the ride a direct link between the past and the city as it stands now. The route finishes back at the Rest House, and photo data taken during the tour is shared afterwards.
It suits most travellers, including families with children and older riders, since the bikes are electric and reviewers of various ages describe the riding as easy. Groups are mixed and capped at ten people, with morning and afternoon departures available.
A few practical points help this ride go smoothly, from bike sizing to the rain plan.
Common issues. Arriving late without notice cancels the tour with a 100% fee, and even with notice the operator may cancel for the convenience of other customers. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and if child seats and children's bikes are fully reserved, kids too short for adult bikes may not be able to join. Weather can force cancellation or a switch to the rainy-day route or a walking tour. One reviewer wished the tour had been longer, a fair point if you want depth beyond the park; the operator also runs a 3-hour version adding Hiroshima Castle.
Rental bicycles, an English-speaking guide, and the insurance fee for the bikes are included. Bicycle accident insurance is covered in the price as well. Note that admission to Peace Memorial Park is free, and only museum entry, if added, is paid separately.
The meeting point is the Rest House of Hiroshima Peace Park Tourist Information at 1-1 Nakajimacho, Naka Ward. The listing does not state hotel pickup, so check the booking page if you need one. The nearest tram stop is the Atomic Bomb Dome station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway.
Yes. Infants can ride free in electric-bike child seats, and children's cross bikes suit heights of 110 cm to 145 cm, with up to two children's bikes per booking. Both types are limited, so contact the operator before reserving to check stock.
The electric bikes do most of the work, and reviewers aged 65 to 70 reported no trouble. Several reviewers also describe the pace as easy. Adult bikes require a minimum height of 145 cm.
You can choose a rainy-day limited route, switch to a walking tour covering the hypocenter area, or take a refund. Poor weather can also cancel the tour entirely for safety reasons, in which case the operator offers a different date or a full refund.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside 24 hours there is no refund and no changes are accepted. Being late without prior notice incurs a 100% cancellation fee.
