Explore the streets to find its charms!

The Yokogawa district, located adjacent to Yokogawa Station in the northwest of Hiroshima City retains a retro character reminiscent of the immediate post-war period.

From Yokogawa Station, your local guide will lead you through an inviting shopping street to a district bustling with bars and taverns. During the two and a half hours of strolling the town while enjoying its vintage atmosphere, you’ll drop by two restaurants recommended by the guide, where you can compare bottles of Hiroshima sake and enjoy delicious izakaya dishes. Of course, you’ll also have a chance to chat with your guide and others over drinks!

This tour is also a great way to meet the friendly people of Hiroshima.
