Fire, shadows, and peace: Hiroshima as you've never heard it before
I’m Waleed, a tour guide based in Hiroshima for the past 1.5 years. I love sharing the deep history of Hiroshima in a simple and engaging way. In my free time, I enjoy sketching, gaming, and exploring new places. I’m passionate about meeting people from around the world and helping them connect with the stories of this city.

Description
Walk through the shadows and light of Hiroshima:
Welcome to a tour that's more than just a stroll... It's a journey through history, humanity, and hope. This isn't a typical textbook history lesson: it's real, authentic, and unforgettable.
Unlike traditional tours that rush you from one place to another, I invite you to pause and experience the history . I share:
- Historical facts with a human touch
- Stories of survivors (Hibakusha) that remain in memory
- Personal reflections and little-told anecdotes
- Time for questions, reflection and peaceful silence.
Places we will visit:
- Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
- Atomic Bomb Dome ( Genbaku Dome )
- Children's Peace Memorial
- Cenotaph for the victims of the atomic bomb
- Peace Bell and Flame of Peace
- Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall
- View of the Motoyasu River: a quiet place for reflection
