Day Trip to Hiroshima & Miyajima with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry

Embark on an unforgettable journey to two of Japan’s most iconic destinations: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. This tour combines history, culture, and breathtaking scenery to offer you a complete and immersive experience.

The experience begins at Hiroshima train station, from where you will depart for the picturesque island of Miyajima, famous for its stunning scenery and the legendary floating torii. Upon arrival, visit the historic Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with roots dating back to the 6th century. Just a few steps from the pier, you can admire the majestic torii, which appears to float on the water during high tide, offering a perfect setting for unforgettable photos. As you explore, enjoy the serene temples and gardens surrounding the shrine, especially charming during the cherry blossom season.

After taking in the beauty of Miyajima, a scenic ferry ride will bring you back to the mainland, where you can delight in panoramic views of the torii, the coast, and the urban skyline framed by mountains. The journey continues in Hiroshima, where you will visit the Peace Memorial, a moving place that honors the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of peace.
