Hiroshima & Miyajima Private Chauffeur Day Tour from Your Hotel

This is the effortless way to do Hiroshima and Miyajima: a private chauffeur-driven day with Hire Taxi Japan that begins at your Hiroshima hotel door and handles every kilometer in between. Your English-speaking chauffeur arrives in a Toyota Alphard, the plush minivan that is Japan's executive transport of choice, seating up to four, with a HiAce available for groups of up to nine, and from that moment the pacing, parking and ferry logistics are entirely someone else's problem. The day covers the region's full sweep. In the city you visit the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, with your chauffeur timing arrivals to sidestep the worst of the crowds, then Hiroshima Castle and the exquisite Shukkei-en Garden, the feudal-era landscape garden most day tours skip. Then the drive south to the pier, where your chauffeur manages the ferry crossing to Miyajima, and the island's floating torii and Itsukushima Shrine fill the afternoon at whatever pace suits you. Because the vehicle is yours, the day flexes: linger longer at the museum, skip a stop, or add the optional detour to Iwakuni to see the Kintaikyo Bridge, the extraordinary five-arch wooden bridge an hour beyond, adding roughly ninety minutes to two hours. Pricing is per vehicle rather than per person, JPY 105,000 for the Alphard, JPY 120,000 for the nine-seat HiAce, which makes it surprisingly economical for families and small groups; note that the small ferry fare, meals and attraction admissions are paid as you go. For travelers who value comfort, flexibility and zero logistics, this is the region's premium option.
