Why we chose this tour

Visitors can choose to be collected from Osaka, Kyoto, or Hiroshima. Once the tour is together, you will join a short boat trip across to the Itsukushima Shrine. This shrine is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the island of Itsukushima, more commonly known as Miyajima. The island is a beautiful location for looking out toward the ocean. The shrine is identifiable for its tori gate, known as the floating gate. On Miyajima Island you will have some free time to stroll around and admire the scenery and have lunch on the island before taking the boat back across to the city of Hiroshima. One of the most visited sites in Hiroshima is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum. As Hiroshima was the first city in the world to experience a nuclear attack, Japan built this striking memorial park to remember the 70,000 citizens who were killed during the attack on August 6th 1945. The site acts as a call for peace against nuclear war. The Atomic Bomb Dome is the park’s most iconic symbol, and a poignant reminder of the impact of nuclear weapons.
