The island was very amusing as it had excellent and fresh oyster with many deers. Their traditional sweets are really good and we had a very nice ferry to the island. We stayed for a comfortable time in the island which gave us time to do shopping and eat food. Tour guide explained very detailed in both English and Spanish about Hiroshima and we saw some historical monuments and even a world heritage unesco site! Overall experience was very good!

Itinerary
Your journey begins at Hiroshima Station (If selected option wich includes the visit to Hiroshima and Miyajima), where you will meet your guide and fellow travelers. A comfortable bus will take you to the first destination, offering a brief introduction to Hiroshima’s history and significance along the way. If you select the option wich includes the visit only to Miyajima, your starting point will be at Hiroden-Miyajimaguchi Station where you will meet the guide and the rest of the group.
Board the bus and head towards the coast for the next part of the journey. Along the way, enjoy scenic views and listen to your guide’s insights about Miyajima Island and Itsukushima Shrine. This point will be the starting point for those who selected the option which includes the visit only to Miyajima.
Upon arrival at the ferry terminal, board a boat for a short but scenic ride to Miyajima Island, famous for its breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage. You will visit Itsukushima Shrine. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this stunning shrine is built over the water and is known for its "floating" torii gate, which appears to rise from the sea during high tide. You will explore the shrine’s beautiful wooden corridors and enjoy stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea. After visiting the shrine, you’ll have free time to explore the island’s charming streets, visit local shops, and taste regional specialties such as grilled oysters and momiji manju pastries. After visiting this magical place, take the ferry back to Hiroshima, this will be the end of the tour for those who have selected the option that visits only Miyajima. For those who have chosen the option that includes both Hiroshima and Miyajima, the tour will continue to the next destination.
(If selected option that includes Miyajima & Hiroshima) Upon arrival at the Peace Memorial Park, you will explore the outdoor areas of one of Japan’s most historically significant sites.

You will have time to walk through the park, view its historical monuments and the exterior of the Atomic Bomb Dome, reflect on their significance, and take in the powerful atmosphere of this historic location.
After an enriching experience in Hiroshima, the tour concludes at Hiroshima Station, where you can continue your journey or explore more of the city at your leisure. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of Hiroshima’s history and the natural beauty of Miyajima Island.

The itinerary was exceptionally well-planned and seamlessly executed. Our guide, Ms. Heli, was highly knowledgeable and provided insightful, accurate details about every site. Additionally, our driver, Mr. Ito, was polite, professional, and ensured we arrived safely and punctually at each destination
The guide was lovely but this was a very expensive tour for what it was. I should have read the description more carefully.
Angeles was a lovely and energetic guide who brought the tour alive for us. A very sobering experience in Hiroshima and delicious pastries in Myojima
Alex and Ooa San were very friendly and accommodating throughout the experience. They had made the experience enjoyable and informative. I would highly recommend to book this experience with both Alex and Ooa San!
Great guide, very informative. Would recommend
Angeles was a wonderful tour guide. She was was a great teacher. and she knew so much about the places we visited. It was a really good day.
Angeles was a knowledgeable guide of the area and thoroughly professional.Gave us local tips and a great lunch recommendation
We had a great trip with Alex and Ooe. Informative and clear directions and messages on where we should meet. Only small recommendation would be volume of microphone, especially when speaking English as seemed softer spoken then.
This was an excellent tour. Fantastic driver (Kita) and knowledgeable tour guide (Alejandro). Appreciate their politeness and communication skills. Will recommend to my friends.
Kita and Alex were amazing. 10/10! Would definitely use again! Lots of information given across 2 languages, but not so much that you couldn’t experience everything as well. It was the perfect balance. I definitely recommend!!
It is wonderful to have had Alejandro as our guide! My husband and I truly were impressed with this tour and we actually stayed behind to enjoy more on the last stop, truly would book with Amigo tours in Japan for our next time . Thank you so much for everything
Thank you to our guide Cesar and bus driver Shimoie. It was a really interesting tour with a great time management. The shrine in Miyajima was beautiful, we also tasted some local food. Hiroshima was a touching experience.
Cesar was very helpful!!!!!!
An absolutely fantastic tour. Our guide, Angeles, was very informative and extremely passionate about her job. She looked after our group really well and made the whole day relaxing, but at the same time very educational.
Angelas was very knowledgeable and informative. A great experience
She was wondeful, great energy, clear messages and very welcoming. I wish we had her as our tour guide our entire trip in Japan. Highly recommend Angeles
Cezar our guide was very knowledgeable of Hiroshima. gained a lot of knowledge. also driver Ito was courteous and a great driver.
Great experience in English and Spanish. A nicely balanced day. Alex and Ito were fantastic and I would highly recommend this tour.
Alex/Alejandro is amazing! He explained quite a lot. He provided a lot of information and history. Was a great guide. Thank you, Alex!
Angeles was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about the areas we explored. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide to those interested in touring the Hiroshima and Myajima Tori gate. The experiences within the tour had admission free options as well as paid options for certain areas, it was nice not having to pay to see areas when you wanted to and experience some of the culture on your own outside from the tour group.
We had the tour today with our guide Angeles. It was an amazing tour going to Miyajima island, which was really beautiful. After that we went to the Peace memorial which was really impressive. When our guide introduced herself and the tour, you could feel how passionate she is to tell us about these places. Both the instructions about where/when to meet and the information about these places was very clear to us.
Angeles was very thorough in her explanations in both Spanish and English.
This was a great experience I went on with my family. Lots of information from our tour guide Angeles, who was patient and very informative. I enjoyed the Gate, shrine she suggested we visit and her lunch recommendations. We also visited Hiroshima which was another informative experience. Overall a fantastic tour and would definitely recommend this day trip.
It was excellently organised and Angeles was a great guide.Relly excellent
Very well run day. Alex and One were great.
Had a great time! Truly enjoyed Miyajima island and also getting to see and learn more about the history of Hiroshima. Alex was an amazing guide and was very well cooperative with the groups ideas pace and plans. Oe-san was our driver for the day and did a wonderful job on her behalf too.
Alex and Oe-San were great at their jobs and I must say that of course Hiroshima was incredibly moving.
Alex was a great host. He kept everyone informed, on time, and together. He was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and showed great reverence and respect at the Hiroshima Peace Museum and park.
Angeles was very informative and courteous. Her recommendation for all the restaurants were awesome. She made the trip memorable.
Angeles, our guide, was fluent in Spanish and English as well, giving us relevant historical information about the places we were about to visit. She gave us enough time to wonder around, eat and do some shopping.
A good value for money tour. The same basic package is available from a number of suppliers who all follow the same route so shop around. It's very much a herding tour, off of bus, onto ferry, back on bus. Walk around a tourist town (expensive souvenirs and food) get back on bus etc. We had a knowledgable guide who was most helpful and also spoke Spanish
I had good time when I was make reservations I was little bit worried because of I need public transportation to meeting point which is far away from city. But I made it. When I met my tour guide I was happy to see him. It was raining day . I was worried about weather but it turns up nice day not sunny and not much hot. I seen couple of places which I was always want see it. During lunch time my tour guide recommend eel over rice which is famous this area. It was delicious. When my tour ends heavy rain start back to city.
Angeles was a wonderful guide. She was knowledgable and positive and shared beautiful sentiments about peace throughout the day. We thought the time spent in both locations was perfect and we were able to see and experience everything we had hoped to. Great end to our Japan trip.
We enjoyed visiting Miyajima and Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Our guide, Angeles, was courteous and knowledgeable about the history of the sites. She also recommended places to visit and local specialists to try.
This is a great tour. Plenty of free time to explore and enjoy Miyajima. Angeles is a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Transportation was excellent. Visiting the museum is a must do!
Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Angeles was amazing. Enjoyed your very much!
Ángeles was an amazing guide. She was full of information and was very enthusiastic. She continuously checked in with everyone to made sure they are okay. She is very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and passionate. We really enjoyed the tour with her. We had a lot of time at the sights visited and didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommend!
Jorge is the best tour guide. He is patient and funny. He really cares about you having a good time.
Jorge was one of the most fun tour guides I have had. He had us for two tours and he was very personable, caught us on the bullet train and talked with us all the way to the meet up point. He was very knowledgeable and kept everyone entertained.
We had a lot of fun and learned so much about Japan’s rules, traditions, and culture. It was a fantastic day out, and I highly recommend Jorge Ooe.
Enjoyed all the information about not only the sites but life in Japan. Jorge is very friendly and considerate.
Miyajima and the Hiroshima peace memorial were amazing. However having a bilingual tour really diluted the whole effect. Would have appreciated an English only tour.
A great experience, Angeles, our guide, although not Japanese, was a great guide who was full of knowledge about the places we visited. Everything was well organised and our driver Ido, very professional. Would recommend if you want to experience Hiroshima.
The tour was great however I would have appreciated more time at the peace memorial than the island. The guide was great however some facts need to be rechecked and to consider mentioning Australia when speaking about WWII
Tour guide very informative friendly and helpful
Our tour was incredible, and that was entirely thanks to our guide, Angeles and driver Ito. Their passion for the city's history and culture was infectious. Instead of just rattling off dates and facts, they shared fascinating stories and insider tips that brought everything to life. They were incredibly attentive, patient with all of our questions, and made sure everyone in the group felt included. If you take this tour, cross your fingers that you get them—they truly made our trip unforgettable!
The tour guide angelus was very informative and very helpful. She carries a positive attitude and explained the culture and history of tour in a simple way.
The driver and our guide- Angeles, both were amazing!! She described everything very well! 💗 She didn't do much when I did indeed hit my head in the bus :"( 😂
Amazing tour and beautiful tour guide Angelas! Thank you for a wonderful day packed with valuable information
