Itinerary

  • Miyajima

    Miyajima (宮島) is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views. While officially named Itsukushima, the island is more commonly referred to as Miyajima, Japanese for "shrine island". This is because the island is so closely related to its key shrine, Itsukushima Shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water. Miyajima is a romantic place, best enjoyed by staying overnight at one of the island's ryokan. While there are usually many day tourists, in the evening the area becomes much quieter and more peaceful. There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the same sites as the tourists, and in the evening they sleep along the walking paths.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Itsukushima Shrine

    The centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushima Jinja) on Miyajima is the source of both the island's fame and its name. Formally named Itsukushima, the island is more popularly known as "Miyajima", literally "shrine island" in Japanese, thanks to its star attraction. The shrine is known worldwide for its iconic "floating" torii gate. The shrine and its torii gate are unique for being built over water, seemingly floating in the sea during high tide. The shrine complex consists of multiple buildings, including a prayer hall, the main hall, and a noh theater stage, which are connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea.

    1 hour

  • Atomic Bomb Dome

    A symbol of Hiroshima and a focus for prayers for world peace. At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today. The residents of Hiroshima decided to keep this tragic reminder of war intact. The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1996. Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the suffering caused by war and nuclear weapons and the true value of peace.

    30 minutes

  • Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

    Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park (平和記念公園, Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is one of the most prominent features of the city. Even visitors not looking for it will likely stumble upon the large park of over 120,000 square meters. Its trees, lawns, and walking paths are in stark contrast to the surrounding downtown area. Before the bomb, the area of what is now the Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot's target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities.

    1 hour

  • Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

    The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is the largest of Hiroshima's sites related to the atomic bomb. Designed by renowned architect Tange Kenzo (1913-2005), the museum opened in 1955, and in 2006 it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The museum consists of two adjacent buildings inside Peace Memorial Park. The main hall houses an extensive collection of artifacts from the time of the bombing, while the east building is focused on peace education through a variety of media. The main hall recently underwent major renovation, and its collection is now even more powerful and moving.

Amazing guide

Published on Apr, 2025

Sachi was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and took us to many gems off the beaten track. Would highly recommend. Her English is excellent.

Excellent Tour

Published on Apr, 2025

Excellent tour! Very informative and very interesting and to top it off Kyoshi was an excellent guide who lead us to the best lunch spot in Miyajima. The museum at the Shrine was worth the visit.

Great experience with this tour.

We were meet by Momoko on arrival at the train station. The weather was a bit unpleasant and we were given a choice about the order off our itinerary which was unexpected but grateful. We chose the island first as the day was predicted to clear as the went on as this involved more shelter. The day didn’t disappoint and nor did Momoko. Her extensive knowledge and dedication to making our experience one to remember right down to lunch and patience with a lost bag. Highly recommend this tour.

Miyuki was the sweetest & kindest tour guide. We enjoyed every minute of our tour with her. Her personal stories about Hiroshima made it even more touching. She’s truly a one of a kind human being. We absolutely loved her. Highly recommend this tour!! She had the day planned out so well. There was enough time to sightsee, take pictures and try some local foods. It’s a tour that can’t be missed!! She became like family by the time we were done w the tour. We didn’t want to leave :(. Definitely pick this tour for your Hiroshima n island experience

Excellent!!

First of all, if I could give this tour a 10 star review, I would! When I booked it, I missed the fact that it was a private tour so that was a very happy surprise. Joe was our tour guide and he was really amazing and knowledgeable. He was so patient while I took all my photos and he navigated the crowds of tourists and school children with ease! We saw very beautiful sites and had a fantastic tour. I highly recommend this tour especially with Joe!!
