Itsukushima Shrine Torii

See Miyajima’s most iconic landmark, the great torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine. At high tide, it appears to float on the sea, while at low tide, you may be able to walk closer to it. Its appearance changes throughout the day with the tides, weather and light.

Itsukushima Shrine

Visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its elegant vermilion buildings built over the sea. Walk through its corridors while learning about the shrine’s history, distinctive architecture and deep connection with the island.

Daishoin Temple

A personal favourite of your guide, Daishoin is a peaceful temple at the foot of Mount Misen. With beautiful wooden halls and charming, uniquely expressive statues, this hidden gem often exceeds visitors’ expectations. Many guests leave with a smile, saying it was one of their favourite stops.

Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street

A lively street lined with local crafts, snacks, restaurants and souvenir shops. You can also try Hiroshima’s famous maple-leaf-shaped cakes, called momiji manju. Please note that the time available for strolling will depend on the tour schedule.

Travel from Miyajima to central Hiroshima by ferry and tram, usually taking about 75 minutes. A direct high-speed boat to Peace Memorial Park may also be available, taking about 45 minutes. Your guide will help you choose the most suitable route based on the schedule and conditions that day.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

  • 50m
Explore the park’s major monuments while learning about Hiroshima’s history before and after the atomic bombing, as well as the stories and meanings behind the memorials. Your Hiroshima-born local guide will also share local perspectives and personal stories, helping you gain a deeper understanding of Hiroshima’s past and present.

Ground Zero

  • 10m
Visit the area directly beneath where the atomic bomb exploded. Your guide will explain what happened here at the moment of the bombing, what this area experienced in the aftermath, and how it has changed into the place you see today.

Atomic Bomb Dome

The Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is recognised around the world as a symbol of the atomic bombing and peace. Take a moment to see it with your own eyes and reflect on what it means to you.

After visiting Peace Memorial Park, you will enter the museum for a self-guided visit. Through photographs, personal testimonies, and personal belongings, you can gain a deeper understanding of the atomic bombing and its impact on the people of Hiroshima.
