What to expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey to two of Japan's most iconic destinations: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. This tour offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty for a truly immersive experience.

Your adventure begins in Hiroshima, where you'll visit the Peace Memorial Park, a place of deep historical significance. Here, you'll find the Peace Memorial, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and other monuments honouring the victims of the 1945 bombing. Walking through this reflective space provides a powerful moment to think about the importance of world peace and the resilience of the Japanese people.

From Hiroshima, you'll travel to the coast and board a ferry to Miyajima Island. Known for its serene atmosphere and breathtaking natural beauty, the island is home to Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its famous floating torii gate, which appears to rise from the water at high tide, is one of Japan's most recognized landmarks and a perfect photo opportunity.

As you explore the island, you'll stroll through picturesque streets, visit historic temples, and sample local delicacies such as Miyajima's renowned oysters and momiji manju, delicious maple leaf-shaped pastries. You'll also meet the friendly deer that roam freely, adding to the island's charm. After a day of history, culture, and nature, you'll take the ferry back to Hiroshima, carrying unforgettable memories of two of Japan's most captivating destinations.
