Itinerary
One of the World Heritage Sites in Hiroshima. Feel the importance of peace at this landmark of Hiroshima, which withstood the blast and heat rays of the atomic bomb.
Explore monuments such as the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims, the Children's Peace Monument, and the A-bomb Memorial Mound, along with the stories related to those monuments.
Learn about what happened to the city of Hiroshima on that day, what happened to the people living there, and learn about the atomic bomb, radiation, and the reconstruction of Hiroshima.
At beautiful Miyajima Island, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, we will visit the majestic Itsukushima Shrine, another World Heritage Site in Hiroshima, and the Otorii (Grand Gate) floating on the sea.
Encounter many unique Buddhist and stone statues. The Henjokutsu Cave is a good photo spot with its beautiful lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
Construction of this shrine began in 1587 but was interrupted by the death of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the warlord who ordered its construction and is still unfinished.
Stroll through a shopping street lined with souvenir stores and taste Hiroshima's famous oysters and lemons.

This was a truly beautiful and meaningful tour. Hiroshima and the Peace Park were deeply moving, and Miyajima Island was absolutely stunning. Our guide, Miyuri was exceptional! She was kind, engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely thoughtful. Our guide was a retired civil servant who worked closely with survivors., so her knowledge and insights added a powerful depth and authenticity that made the history especially impactful. Despite the sensitive history, we never felt uncomfortable as Americans as our guide created a thoughtful, balanced, and welcoming space that encouraged understanding and reflection rather than blame. Our guide was also flexible and accommodating, adjusting the schedule to our preferences so the day felt relaxed and personal rather than rushed. A perfect, memorable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!!!
Our guide Meyu was amazing. She was attentive and had excellent knowledge of local history We highly recommend this tour
