Full description Embark on an unforgettable day trip to two of Japan’s most iconic destinations: Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. This immersive tour blends deep historical insight, cultural discovery, and natural beauty for a well-rounded experience in the Chugoku region.

Your journey begins in Hiroshima, where you’ll explore the poignant Peace Memorial Park. Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the various monuments honoring the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing. Walking through this serene park provides a powerful opportunity to reflect on global peace and admire the resilience of the Japanese people.

From Hiroshima, head to the coast and board a ferry to the picturesque Miyajima Island. Known for its spiritual ambiance and scenic views, the island is home to the majestic Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its iconic floating torii gate, which appears to rise from the sea during high tide. This remarkable landmark is one of the most photographed and revered sites in all of Japan.

Stroll through the island’s charming streets, lined with traditional architecture, historic temples, and inviting shops. Enjoy local specialties such as Miyajima oysters and momiji manju, a maple-leaf-shaped pastry filled with sweet bean paste. Along the way, you’ll encounter friendly free-roaming deer, a beloved symbol of the island's harmony with nature.

After a day filled with emotional depth, natural splendor, and cultural treasures, return by ferry to Hiroshima, carrying with you unforgettable memories of two of Japan’s most treasured places.
