Your Experience

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

A 1-day bus tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima will take you through the haunting past and resilient present and future of the region. Discover the significant landmarks and picnic gems scattered across the prefectures.

Your day will begin with a visit to the poignant Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a tribute to the victims of the devastating atomic bombing of 1945. Stand in awe of the A-Bomb Dome, a haunting memorial rising from the ruins of a once-damaged building that serves as an enduring symbol of hope and peace.

Delicious Lunch and Miyajima Island Visit

It's time to savor the flavors of Hiroshima! You'll dine on the delectable Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake bursting with the rich flavors of pork, cabbage, bean sprouts, and noodles.

Next, venture on a ferry trip across the serene waters of Hiroshima Bay, bound for the mystical Miyajima Island. This island is home to the enchanting Itsukushima Shinto Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you approach, the sight of the shrine's iconic red gate seemingly floating on the water is nothing short of magical. Marvel at the Toyokuni Shrine which is decorated with many artworks, prominently with horses, and see the beam that holds up the roof as this structure doesn't have a ceiling. Right next to the shrine is the eye-catching red pagoda, the Goju no to. This 5-storied Pagoda is the oldest pagoda of this type in Japan and one of the oldest surviving wooden towers in the world.
