Day Trip to Hiroshima & Miyajima with Itsukushima Shrine

From Hiroshima, you will head towards the coast to take a ferry to the picturesque island of Miyajima. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and stunning natural beauty, the island is home to the Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its iconic floating torii gate, which appears to rise from the water during high tide, is one of Japan's most famous landmarks and the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.

As you explore the island, you'll have the chance to stroll through charming streets, visit historic temples, and enjoy local delicacies such as the famous Miyajima oysters and the momiji manju, delicious maple-leaf shaped pastries. You'll also encounter friendly deer roaming freely, adding a unique touch to the experience.

After your time on the island, you'll take the ferry back to Hiroshima, where the tour will end for those who have selected the option visiting only Miyajima. For those who have chosen the tour that includes both Miyajima and Hiroshima, the next stop will be the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a place of deep historical significance. Here, you'll find the Peace Memorial, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and other monuments dedicated to the victims of the 1945 bombing. Walking through this solemn space invites reflection on the importance of world peace and the resilience of the Japanese people.

After a day filled with history, nature, and cultural discovery, you'll return to Hiroshima Station, taking with you unforgettable memories of two of Japan's most captivating destinations.
