About the tour
Set off on an inspiring journey to two of Japan’s most iconic locations: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. This experience brings together cultural heritage, powerful history, and breathtaking scenery for a truly memorable adventure.
Your tour begins as you board a ferry bound for the magical island of Miyajima. Known for its peaceful ambiance and striking natural landscapes, the island is home to the revered Itsukushima Shrine, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its famous torii gate—seemingly floating above the sea during high tide—is one of Japan’s most photographed symbols and creates a stunning scene for unforgettable snapshots.
As you explore the island, you’ll wander through picturesque streets, discover ancient temples, and savor local specialties such as Miyajima’s celebrated oysters and momiji manju, delightful pastries shaped like maple leaves. You’ll also encounter the gentle deer that freely roam the area, adding an extra touch of charm to your visit.
If you select the corresponding option, after your time in Miyajima you will continue on to Hiroshima, where you’ll visit the Peace Memorial Park, a place of profound historical meaning. Here you’ll see the Peace Memorial, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and several monuments dedicated to the victims of the 1945 tragedy. Walking through this reflective space encourages contemplation about the value of global peace and the enduring spirit of the Japanese people.
Don’t miss the chance to discover these two emblematic places, both essential to understanding Japan’s cultural identity and historical past.
