Set off on an unforgettable journey to two of Japan’s most renowned destinations: Miyajima and Hiroshima. This tour invites you to delve into the fascinating history and breathtaking natural beauty that define these remarkable locations.

Your adventure begins at Hiroshima’s train station, where you’ll embark on a scenic ride through picturesque Japanese landscapes en route to Miyajima. Known for its lush natural surroundings and the iconic floating torii gate, Miyajima is an island that captivates visitors. Upon arrival, you’ll marvel at the grandeur of the Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 6th century. A short walk from the ferry station leads you to the famous torii gate, which appears to float serenely on the water at high tide, offering a perfect backdrop for stunning photographs. You’ll also have time to wander the charming temples and gardens near the shrine, where vibrant cherry blossoms create a spectacular display in spring.

After soaking in the beauty of Miyajima, you’ll board a ferry for a brief yet enchanting ride across the water. This voyage provides unparalleled views of the island, the coastline, and the torii gate, set against a dramatic backdrop of mountains and cityscapes. Returning to the mainland, your journey continues by bus to Hiroshima, where you’ll visit the Hiroshima Memorial. This profoundly moving site honours the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of peace. The Hiroshima Peace Park, home to the memorial, is a tranquil space designed to inspire reflection and hope for a harmonious future.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll board the bus for the return trip, ending the tour at Hiroshima train station.
