Hiroshima & Miyajima: Private Full-Day Tour with Local Guide

A fully private, expert-led day uniting Hiroshima's two UNESCO World Heritage sites — the Peace Memorial Park & Atomic Bomb Dome and the iconic floating Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island. The ultimate bucket-list pairing in a single shore day.

What to expect

Your licensed private guide meets you at the port and whisks you first to the Peace Memorial Park, where you linger at the Cenotaph, Children's Peace Monument and the haunting Atomic Bomb Dome at your own pace. A focused visit to the Peace Memorial Museum follows — your guide provides layered historical context that transforms exhibits from information into lived understanding. You then ferry across to Miyajima Island, walking the ancient cedar-lined path to the vermilion Itsukushima Shrine and its legendary floating Torii at the water's edge. The day ends with a quiet moment on the island before your private transfer back to port.
