Full description

This is a 6.5-hour experience in Hiroshima, built around Train, Ferry and Miyajima. It is run by Cornwall Ltd, 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 Admission fees. It does not cover Meals and Transportation, 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.

広島駅 中央口 みどりの窓口. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Cornwall Ltd before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Hayato-San was an excellent guide! He brought the area to life with his explanation of the history, his knowledge second to none. He is passionate about Hiroshima and it came out during the trip with him. Thanks Hayato-San!

As a Hiroshima local Hiro was knowledgeable about the area and provided a nice and relaxed tour for us to enjoy. He shared stories of his family background and the impact that the war had in an authentic and open way which was very appreciated. Would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the events in Hiroshima

Mariko was our guide who is from Hiroshima herself and she was fantastic! We left relatively early and ended at a reasonable time. Plenty of free time to try food, take photos, and she’s open to any and all questions. It was great learning from her as well as the full history of the city. Highly recommend it.

Went down to Miyajima first and saw the dear and temple. Our guide knew the history have been born in the area. Came back to the ferry via the shops and had oysters lemon beer and a few other bits. Definitely eat while you are here the variety and flavors are worth it. Back on the ferry and tram to Hiroshima memorial and museum. Rang the bell at peace park. Well paced day and our guide was excellent.

I have trouble with directions, but Hayato was able to message me and met me quickly. He provided an incredibly positive and memorable experience that should be shared with as many people as possible. Miyajima is a unique shrine with a lot to offer from the friendly deer, Tori gate, food, shopping, beach, and beautiful, intelligent architecture. Hayato shared his perspective and insight on the rich history in Hiroshima. There is dark history with an emphasis on hope and resilience. We are responsible for creating and maintaining peace. I hope to return with my husband and share the deep and me

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.
