Full Description

This immersive day tour combines two of Hiroshima’s most iconic destinations: the moving Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the scenic Miyajima Island. Start your day with a private guide who meets you at your accommodation or one of several convenient pickup points in Hiroshima.

The tour is flexible and designed to match your pace and interests. Whether you want a reflective historical experience, an architectural walk, or a spiritual exploration, your guide will tailor the route accordingly.

Begin with a visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, home to several significant landmarks that commemorate the victims of the atomic bomb. Key stops include:

Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome) – A striking symbol of peace and one of the few structures left standing after the 1945 bombing.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum – Featuring personal items, photos, and detailed accounts of the bombing’s aftermath.
Children’s Peace Monument, Flame of Peace, Bell of Peace, Victims Memorial Cenotaph, and the Hypocenter – Each offering perspective on the tragedy and message of hope.

After your visit to the Peace Memorial Park, head to Miyajimaguchi via JR train or tram, then board a ferry to Miyajima Island, renowned for its scenic beauty and sacred sites. On Miyajima, your guide will lead a walking tour through the island’s highlights, including:

Itsukushima Shrine and Otorii Gate – Famous for the red gate that appears to float at high tide
Daiganji Temple – A peaceful temple dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten
Daisho-in Temple – A historic Buddhist complex offering beautiful views
Senjokaku Pavilion and Hokokujinja Shrine – Known for their impressive wooden architecture and spiritual atmosphere

After exploring the island, return by ferry and train to your original drop-off location.
