Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Hiroshima, built around Train, Ferry and Miyajima. It is run by M2N Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park sits on the ground beneath the point where the bomb detonated at 8:15 on 6 August 1945. The A-Bomb Dome, the skeleton of the industrial promotion hall, was left as it stood; the Peace Memorial Museum reopened in 2019 after a redesign and takes about two hours, and is not for young children. The Children's Peace Monument is hung with paper cranes sent from around the world. Hiroshima's own food is okonomiyaki layered with noodles, eaten at counters in Okonomimura. Miyajima is 40 minutes away and most visitors combine the two in one day.

The price covers Guided Tour and Visit to Daisho-in Temple. It does not cover Transportation Cost, Food and Entrance fee to the attractions, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hiroshima Station Shinkansen Exit. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with M2N Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Visita tra la pioggia ai templi dell’isola di Miyajima che forse grazie all’acqua che si intrufolava armoniosamente tra le statute dei Buddha avvolti nel vapore delle piccole cascata tra il muschio e le incensiere degli altari ha assunto una atmosfera da mondo a cavallo tra il reale e lo spirituale, tra la modernità ordinata al di là dello stretto braccio di mare e una natura che ispira il divino e da essa ne è ispirata. A questa esperienza ha contributo tantissimo la nostra guida Ali, cortese professionale, informato ci ha accolto ed accompagnato in modo splendido per farci vivere al meglio l

We had a wonderful tour today! Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She guided us through various significant spots of Miyajima, showed us some great shops and explained us all kinds of cultural and historical topics. We were able to go up right to the Torii Gate, as it was low tide and had a beautiful atmosphere all day with great weather. We fell in love with the island and we‘re sure to remember it as one of our highlights on our Japan trip!

One of the highlights of our trip to Japan was the tour we took. Our guide, Jose, was pleasant, informative, and engaging. Despite the heat, she ensured our comfort throughout the tour. We were able to walk at our own pace and had the opportunity to visit several sites—actually, we explored even more than we initially planned. The floating Torii gate was stunning; we were fortunate to see it during both high and low tides. In the evening, we walked to the gate when it was low tide, which was a memorable experience. The Daishoen temple complex proved to be a hidden gem, featuring numerous beaut

Notre guide était très gentil. Cependant il n’avait pas préparé sa visite et c’était un accompagnant mais en aucun cas, un guide : peu d’explication, nous avons même eu des informations erronées. La visite n’était pas préparée, et nous aurions pu visiter par nous-mêmes, sans cette activité

Late March to early April for cherry blossom (2026 full bloom landed around March 29-31), or October-November for autumn color and oyster season. August 6 brings the Peace Memorial Ceremony — moving, but the city is at its most crowded. See our best time to visit Hiroshima guide.
The Hiroden streetcar (flat ¥240) covers most sights, and the meipuru-pu loop bus is free with a JR Pass. Miyajima is a ¥200 ferry ride plus the ¥100 visitor tax. Full fares and passes in getting around Hiroshima.
Two days is the sweet spot: day one for the Peace Memorial Park, Museum and city, day two for Miyajima Island. Our 2-day Hiroshima itinerary maps it hour by hour.
Plan 2-3 hours for the park and museum together — the museum is just ¥200 and opens from 7:30 AM. Etiquette, monuments, and timing tips are in our Peace Memorial Park guide.
The torii appears to float at tide levels above ~250cm, and you can walk out to its base below ~100cm — a single day often offers both. Check tide tables before you go; the full trick is in our Miyajima Island guide.
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — layered, not mixed like Osaka's, with soba inside — plus winter oysters and momiji manju on Miyajima. Okonomimura's 24 stalls are the classic first stop. See the Hiroshima food guide.
Miyajima is the essential one; beyond it, Iwakuni's Kintai Bridge and Okunoshima (Rabbit Island) are both doable by train. Honest rankings and logistics in our Hiroshima day trips guide.
