Abstract

This article discusses peace education trips, which is one of the characteristics of tourism in modern Hiroshima. In particular, it focuses on the relationship between Tamotsu Eguchi, who promoted “Hiroshima School Trips”, and Chieko Kriake, an A-bomb survivor, who started talking about her experience of the A-bombing in response to Eguchi’s request. On a “Hiroshima School Trip”, students listen to the testimonies of A-bomb survivors. Efforts by Eguchi and A-bomb survivors who supported him promoted this type of school trips. However, the A-bomb survivors struggled with dilemmas and could not fully support his activities at the beginning. As they overcame those issues, the “Hiroshima School Trip” has continued up until day. There, we can see the “hospitality” of A-bomb survivors in contemporary Hiroshima tourism.
