Itinerary
Dive into Japan’s rich past and breathtaking scenery on a guided journey that brings you to two of its most emblematic locations: Hiroshima and Miyajima.
Your adventure begins at Hiroshima Train Station, where you’ll set off toward the idyllic island of Miyajima, renowned for its dramatic landscapes and its iconic floating torii gate. Once you arrive, you’ll visit the venerable Itsukushima Shrine — a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose origins reach back to the 6th century.
Just a short walk from the pier, you’ll be able to admire the famous torii, which seems to drift atop the water at high tide, creating a dreamlike backdrop for memorable photographs. As you wander the area, take in the peaceful temples, leafy pathways, and traditional gardens that surround the shrine, especially magical during cherry blossom season.
After soaking up the charm of Miyajima, you’ll board a scenic ferry back to the mainland, enjoying sweeping views of the torii, the coastline, and the skyline with mountains rising in the distance.
Your excursion continues in Hiroshima, where you’ll explore the Peace Memorial, a poignant landmark dedicated to the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and a solemn reminder of the value of peace. Within the serene grounds of Peace Park, thoughtfully designed for contemplation, you’ll find space to reflect on the past and look toward a more hopeful future.
The tour wraps up with a smooth return to Hiroshima Train Station, leaving you with lasting impressions of two extraordinary and meaningful destinations.
