Top Experiences in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

In Hiroshima, there are two world heritages. First one is Miyajima, and another one is Atomic bomb dome. In this tour, we will visit two world heritage sites in one day!! After meetup with our guide at your hotel or train station, you move to Miyajima by local train and ferry. At Itsukushima shrine, you will be impressed by beautiful and calm atmosphere. Of course deer will welcome you there. We also walk along local shopping street and learn Japanese culture. After lunch, we move to Atomic bomb dome and peace memorial park. Then pray for peaceful world. At the end, we plan to visit peace memorial museum and finish Hiroshima one day highlight tour.

【Caution】A big torii gate in Itsukushima Shrine is under construction now.

Most people come to Hiroshima, book a tour in the morning and try to rush to Miyajima only to find everything is closing around 4 pm. I encourage you to do the opposite! Get to Miyajima first and then do an evening tour with me. This way you get the best part of both places.
