Overview

Explore two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one day — Hiroshima’s powerful history and the timeless beauty of Miyajima. If your preferred hotel or meeting location is not listed, please provide it in the additional questions.

Hiroshima is one of Japan's most popular travel destinations. While the city is internationally known for the atomic bombing, it has transformed into a vibrant city dedicated to peace. Beyond its powerful history, Hiroshima offers a rich local culture, delicious cuisine, and beautiful scenery.

On this tour, you will explore the Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima Island with a Hiroshima-born local guide. Along the way, you will gain insights that are difficult to discover on your own, including local stories, historical context, customs, and traditions passed down through generations.

As a private tour, the experience can be tailored to your interests and pace, creating a more personal and meaningful journey through Hiroshima's past and present.

Itsukushima Shrine Torii

Itsukushima Shrine

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
One of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites with a history of over 1,400 years. Known for its elegant vermilion buildings constructed over the water, the shrine appears to float gracefully on the sea at high tide.
