Overview

Experience Hiroshima with a small, heartfelt tour (max 3 guests) that feels like spending the day with a local friend. We will visit Hiroshima’s two UNESCO sites—the Peace Memorial Museum and Itsukushima Shrine—with a schedule tailored to you.

Your Guide:
I am a US university graduate and a Hiroshima government‑licensed guide who has led over 170 tours. I have also welcomed guests from around the world as a host mother. This tour is designed and guided by me from start to finish.

Travel by Car:
Avoid crowded trains, slow trams, and the extra expense of high‑speed boats. I will pick you up anywhere in Hiroshima City.

About Cash:
You won’t need to take out your wallet to pay transport and entrance fees in Japanese yen. All necessary tour costs are included, so you only need to bring enough for your lunch, drinks, and any souvenirs.

My goal is simple: I want you to enjoy Hiroshima. Let’s have fun!

Activity itinerary

Hiroshima

We will meet at your preferred location in Hiroshima City. Details will be arranged through email before the tour. The order of visiting Miyajima (Hatsukaichi City) and the Hiroshima city centre will be adjusted flexibly based on your schedule, the weather, and any conditions on the day.

JR West Miyajima Ferry

15m
Admission ticket included

After a 40–50 minute drive, we will park near the ferry terminal and take a short 10‑minute ferry ride to Miyajima. Since the island has very limited parking and the roads are not ideal for cars, we do not cross to the island by vehicle.

大鳥居のフォトスポット

As we walk towards Itsukushima Shrine, the iconic Great Torii gate gradually comes into view. You can enjoy the scenery and take photos as we approach.

Itsukushima Jinja

40m
Admission ticket included

We will then explore Itsukushima Shrine, Japan’s only shrine built over the water. As we walk through its elegant corridors, your guide will explain the history and features of the site, and you can enjoy taking photos or purchasing charms along the way.

Daishoin

40m
Admission ticket not included

Next, we will visit Daishoin Temple, one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places on Miyajima. The temple grounds are filled with colourful statues, peaceful pathways, and stunning views. This visit is optional—if you prefer to spend more time on other experiences, such as trying local food, shopping, or staying longer at the Peace Memorial Museum, we can easily adjust the plan to your interests.

Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street

Omotesando Shopping Street is a lively area filled with souvenir shops, restaurants, and plenty of delicious street‑food options. Some guests prefer to enjoy the local snacks while walking, while others choose to sit down for a meal such as oysters or Hiroshima‑style okonomiyaki. If you prefer a restaurant lunch, we can discuss it on the tour day, as we may need to adjust the schedule depending on your available time in Hiroshima and restaurant crowd levels.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Monument

We will take the ferry back to the mainland, with the ferry ride and drive taking roughly one hour in total, before arriving in Hiroshima City. After parking the car nearby, our walking tour will begin at the Hiroshima A‑bomb Hypocenter.

Atomic Bomb Dome

At the Atomic Bomb Dome, we will spend some quiet time reflecting on Hiroshima’s history and the significance of this landmark.

Children's Peace Monument

Your guide will share the stories and meaning behind the memorials and monuments as we walk through Peace Memorial Park together.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

1h 20m
Admission ticket included

Our final stop will be the Peace Memorial Museum, a quiet and reflective space where conversations are kept to a minimum. Since all exhibits are displayed in both Japanese and English, you will explore the museum on your own after I scan the QR code of the ticket I have reserved for you at the entrance. If you prefer an audio guide in another language, I can assist you in renting one. (Audio guides are not included in the tour price.)

Hiroshima

The tour will generally end at the location of your choice. If you prefer, you may end the tour at the museum and return to your hotel on your own by taxi or other transport. (Taxi fares are not included in the tour price.) I will plan the itinerary according to your preferences, including your preferred ending point.
