Description

Discover Hiroshima and Miyajima on a day trip from Kyoto or Osaka. Visit the Peace Memorial Park, enjoy a Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki lunch, and explore the island of Miyajima.
Begin your day in Hiroshima, where you’ll visit the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Dome. Instead of rushing through, your driver-guide will share insights about how the city rebuilt itself into a beacon of peace and innovation. The stories here go beyond the museum, highlighting the resilience of the community and the spirit of remembrance.

From there, the tour takes a delicious turn: Hiroshima is world-famous for its savory pancakes, known as Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki. Unlike anywhere else in Japan, this local specialty is layered with noodles, cabbage, and toppings, cooked right in front of you. Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a restaurant loved by locals – not just a tourist stop – giving you an authentic taste of Hiroshima’s culinary pride.

Next, take a short ferry ride to Miyajima, an island celebrated for its floating Itsukushima Shrine gate. Beyond the famous views, explore hidden alleys, browse family-run shops, and if you wish, sample the island’s renowned oysters – either grilled on the spot or in a cozy eatery tucked away from the crowds.

This tour balances iconic sights with authentic encounters: peace and reflection in Hiroshima, food and culture in its kitchens, and natural beauty on Miyajima. By the time you return to Kyoto or Osaka, you’ll carry not just photos, but the flavors, stories, and memories that make Hiroshima truly unforgettable.
