About the tour
Set off on an inspiring journey to two of Japan's most iconic places: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island, in an experience that brings together cultural heritage, powerful history and breathtaking scenery.
Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine
At the train station, you will meet your guide and head to the coast to board a ferry to the enchanting island of Miyajima. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and striking natural landscapes, the island is home to the revered Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its famous torii gate, which seems to float above the sea at high tide, is one of Japan's most photographed symbols and creates a stunning scene for unforgettable photos.
As you explore the island, you will wander through picturesque streets, discover ancient temples and have the chance to taste local specialties such as Miyajima's celebrated oysters and momiji manju, delightful maple leaf-shaped pastries. You will also encounter the gentle deer that roam freely, adding an extra touch of charm to your visit.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
Afterwards, you will board the ferry once more and return to Hiroshima, where you will visit the Peace Memorial Park, a place of profound historical meaning. Here you will 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 of the value of world peace and the enduring spirit of the Japanese people.
Return to Osaka
After a day filled with culture, nature and meaningful discoveries, you will take the train back to Osaka on your own, carrying unforgettable memories of two of Japan's most captivating places.
