Hiroshima and Miyajima Private Custom Tour with Local Guide by Local Operator
Full description
This is a 2-hour experience in Hiroshima, built around Train, Miyajima and Tram. It is run by Travel Japan Together, 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 Private tour and guide. It does not cover Personal expenses, Entrance fees, Lunch and Guide's necessary expenses during the tour, 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.
スターバックス コーヒー ミナモア広島2階店. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Travel Japan Together before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Noriko was absolutely the best! During our 17-day Japan trip, she has been the only guide who reached out beforehand to understand what our family wanted, then delivered on it from the moment we met—personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic. She took the time to learn all five of our names and made space for one to one moments for each of us to ask questions throughout the day. Her knowledge of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island was outstanding, with spot-on recommendations for food, light shopping, and getting around efficiently. She handled Hiroshima's difficult history with real grac
Our day was perfect. Our guide, Masa, was communicative before the trip, and very flexible with timing and activities for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We learned so much of the history and monuments at the Peace Park, then a boat to Miyajima, where we explored the market, shrine and Tori gate, and Masa knew all the best stores, helped us sample the local foods, and even helped with souvenirs. She was so nice, patient and informative. We were so lucky to have her with us. She made the day soecial.
Yuka was an amazing guide and made our Hiroshima/Miyajima day perfect! We learned a lot and didn’t feel rushed. She took us to a great okonomiyaki restaurant in Miyajima. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Yuka!
We were picked up from our hotel by Tomoe, who was absolutely wonderful. Even though we overslept, she waited for us very patiently and kindly. She took great care of us throughout the entire experience, providing food, showing us the smoking areas, offering lovely little snacks, and even taking care of the rubbish. :) She explained everything very clearly and guided us at a perfect pace. We had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much, Tomoe!
Minori was a wonderful guide and we had a great time with her! She gave us options for things to do every step of the way and left the decisions up to us. She took us all over Miyajima and showed us things we would not have seen on our own. We learned a lot and had such a great time. She even made us a lunch reservation, so we could walk right in and sit down, which was a nice break from the heat. We definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Minori!
It was an absolutely wonderful experience with Toshi as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we got the best of this experience. Thank you for everything, especially for the very warm gift by your mother - four paper cranes folded for us. 🙏🏻
We had a great day with Joe! Highly recommend! A perfect day.
Our tour guide was Aike. She took my dad and I around Hiroshima and fit the itinerary to meet our needs. Not only was she incredible knowledgeable but she was flexible and kind. She took us to an amazing traditional hiroshima lunch, took us to Miyajima island, the Hiroshima castle, the peace memorial museum and park, and also a market. We enjoyed our time with her very much and wish we could have her as a guide for every city. I highly recommend you do a private tour with her!
We had a great family oriented tour that followed our inclinations. Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Toshi, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. He showed deep care for us and shared his family’s personal stories about the A-bomb dropping on Hiroshima. We would highly recommend this tour!
This was a great way to efficiently see Miyajima and the Peace Memorial and museum. Our guide, Miyuki, a local native, was very knowledgeable about the sights, the history of the city, and added personal family history and perspective about the effects of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and the aftermath. During the tour, she was engaging and organized while still making sure to honor our preferences. She was able to use her extensive knowledge to steer us effectively past long lines and crowds so that we had the best experience possible. It was a great experience for our family and we would hig
Aikee was a fabulous guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area. We wanted to try Hiroshima’s famous okonomiyaki for lunch. She took us to where the locals all eat it and the food was fantastic and very affordable. If we wanted to try any type of food or buy anything specific she took us to the shops to accommodate our needs. My family and I enjoyed the tour immensely. The 7 hour tour went by so fast. I highly recommend taking the tour especially with Aikee !
