Day Trip to Hiroshima & Miyajima with Ferry and optional bullet train

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.

You can choose to begin directly in Hiroshima, ideal for travelers already staying in the city, or opt to include round-trip transportation by Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka for a fast, smooth, and comfortable journey. Upon arrival, you will meet your guide and begin your adventure.

Your visit in Hiroshima starts at the Peace Memorial Park, a historically significant site that includes the Peace Memorial, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and other monuments honoring the victims of the 1945 bombing. This profound space encourages reflection on the importance of peace and the remarkable resilience of the Japanese people.

Next, you will travel to the coast and take a ferry to the beautiful island of Miyajima. Known for its tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural beauty, Miyajima is home to the Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The shrine’s famous floating torii gate, which seems to rise from the water at high tide, is one of Japan’s most iconic sights and a perfect spot for unforgettable photos.

As you explore Miyajima, enjoy wandering through its charming streets, visiting historic temples, and tasting local specialties such as the renowned Miyajima oysters and momiji manju—a traditional maple leaf-shaped sweet. You’ll also encounter the friendly deer that roam freely across the island, adding a unique and delightful element to your experience.

After a full day immersed in history, nature, and culture, you will board the ferry back to Hiroshima and conclude your tour, carrying with you lasting memories of two of Japan’s most captivating destinations.
