Frequently Asked Questions
You explore Hiroshima's peace memorials with a hand-picked expert guide and hear the story of the city's extraordinary rebirth, then cross to the sacred island of Miyajima. There the floating torii gate and centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine offer a tranquil counterpoint to the morning; transportation and the Miyajima visitor tax are included.
The tour is based in Hiroshima, so it suits travelers already staying in or near the city. The exact meeting point is confirmed with the operator after booking.
Meals, personal expenses and gratuities are not included, so bring money for lunch, either on Miyajima's Omotesando street-food strip or in the city. Transport during the tour and the island visitor tax are covered.
Both the Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima are explored on foot, so expect a full day of easy-to-moderate walking with breaks during the transfers and ferry crossing. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.
Yes, this classic pairing is designed exactly for that: the morning bears witness to the city's heart-rending history, while the afternoon on Miyajima, with its serene shrine, torii gate and wandering deer, gives everyone space to decompress. Parents should still prepare younger children for the memorial content.
