What you can expect

Discover the profound history and serene beauty of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island on this private tour, guided by a knowledgeable local. Begin your journey at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, where you’ll visit the A-Bomb Dome, the Peace Memorial Museum, and the Children’s Peace Monument. Learn about the city’s tragic past and its ongoing message of peace. Continue to Hiroshima Castle, a stunning reconstruction that offers insights into the region's samurai history, followed by a peaceful stroll through Shukkeien Garden, a beautifully restored traditional Japanese garden.

In the afternoon, take a ferry to Miyajima Island, known for its spiritual atmosphere and picturesque landscapes. Visit the iconic Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its “floating” torii gate, and explore Daisho-in Temple, a significant site of Shingon Buddhism. If time permits, hike or ride the ropeway up Mount Misen for breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea. As you wander the island, enjoy local delicacies like grilled oysters and momiji manju.

This tour offers a comprehensive and deeply immersive experience, blending history, culture, and natural beauty, and is perfect for those seeking to understand Hiroshima's legacy and the serene charm of Miyajima Island.

After booking your city tour, a tour coordinator will reach out to confirm your preferences and any specific requirements. If you require a Japanese-English speaking guide or a specialized historical guide, please be sure to mention this when communicating with the coordinator. Please note that most of our guides are non-Japanese city guides and may not hold a licensed city guide certification.
