Experience two of western Japan's most meaningful destinations on this private 8-hour guided tour.
Begin in Hiroshima, where you'll visit the Peace Memorial Museum, Peace Memorial Park, the Victims' Cenotaph, the Children's Peace Monument, and the Atomic Bomb Dome. Learn about the events of August 6, 1945, and the city's inspiring journey toward peace through insightful commentary from your guide. An audio guide for the museum is also available upon request.
After lunch at a local food court (not included), travel by train and ferry to Miyajima Island, one of Japan's most scenic destinations. Visit the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its iconic floating torii gate, before exploring the peaceful Daisho-in Temple, one of Miyajima's oldest and most important Buddhist temples.
Finish the day with free time along Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street, where you can sample local specialties such as grilled oysters or momiji manju and browse traditional souvenir shops before returning to Hiroshima.
