About the tour
Embark on an unforgettable journey to two of Japan’s most extraordinary destinations: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. This tour brings together history, culture, and breathtaking scenery for a truly enriching experience.
Your excursion starts making your way to the shoreline to catch a ferry to the magical island of Miyajima. Known for its serene ambiance and spectacular natural surroundings, the island hosts the famed Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its iconic floating torii gate—rising gracefully from the sea during high tide—is one of Japan’s most iconic sights, perfect for memorable photos.
As you explore the island, you’ll be able to wander through quaint streets, discover ancient temples, and savor local specialties such as Miyajima’s famous oysters and momiji manju, delightful maple leaf-shaped sweets. Friendly deer roaming freely around the island add a special charm to your visit.
Catch the ferry back and travel in the bus to Hiroshima, where you’ll visit the Peace Memorial Park, a place of profound historical importance. Here you’ll see the Peace Memorial, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and several monuments dedicated to the victims of the 1945 bombing. Walking through this meaningful area offers a moment to reflect on the value of global peace and the strength of the Japanese people.
After a day rich in history, nature, and cultural experiences, you’ll board the train back and return to Kyoto by yourself, bringing with you unforgettable memories of two of Japan’s most captivating locations.
