Hiroshima Castle sightseeing boat
A special experience where you can feel history from the surface of the water.
Hiroshima Castle was built by Mori Terumoto at the end of the Sengoku period, and the Hiroshima Castle as it is today was formed around it. By taking a sightseeing boat tour while experiencing the history of Hiroshima Castle, you can enjoy the magnificent stone walls and the scenery of the four seasons from a new perspective that is different from what you can see from land.
Onboard, announcements in both Japanese and English will be made explaining the history and highlights of Hiroshima Castle.
This plan is perfect for tourists visiting Hiroshima, as well as locals, allowing them to enjoy the beauty and history of "Kijo Castle" at a leisurely pace.
