Description

Day tour from Osaka/Hiroshima: Visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Dome & Itsukushima Shrine, admire Miyajima’s iconic floating torii gate.
Embark on a journey to two profound historic and cultural cities in Japan — Hiroshima and Miyajima. Your tour starts at Shin-Osaka Station: you can take a comfortable Shinkansen, winding through Japan's picturesque countryside all the way; or you can choose to meet directly in Hiroshima and start this immersive exploration journey at once.
Departing from Hiroshima, your first stop is the historically significant Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Here, the Peace Memorial Monument, the Atomic Dome, and a host of sculptures and stone inscriptions commemorating the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing stand in quiet solemnity. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the core exhibition building within the park, is dedicated to showcasing the history of the atomic bombing and the stories of its victims. Wandering these solemn grounds, every sight you see stirs deep reflection on the preciousness of peace.
After leaving Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, you will head to the coast and take a ferry to the picture-perfect Miyajima Island. Renowned far and wide for its serene atmosphere and breathtaking natural beauty, this small island is home to Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The shrine’s iconic floating torii gate is the crowning glory — it is not only one of Japan’s most famous landmarks, but also the perfect backdrop for unforgettable travel photos.
Exploring Miyajima is filled with pleasant surprises. You can wander along the winding, charming lanes and visit ancient temples hidden in the green shade. And you must try the world-famous local Miyajima oysters, paired with soft and sweet momiji manju — a special maple-leaf-shaped pastry that bursts with authentic local flavor in every bite. Along the way, you will also encounter herds of free-roaming deer, tame and approachable, adding a touch of vitality and uniqueness to your journey.
In the late afternoon, take the ferry back to the Japanese mainland, then a bus to Hiroshima Station, where this tour draws to a perfect close. You may choose to disband here: linger in Hiroshima to explore the city's lingering charm, or return to Osaka by Shinkansen on your own (at your own expense). No matter where you go next, Hiroshima’s profound historical heritage and Miyajima’s fresh, elegant charm will be etched in your memory for a lifetime.
