Suggested itinerary

A city day with room to enjoy it.

Use this route as a starting point. Stop order and time at each place are adjusted around your pickup, interests, opening hours, and the pace of your group.

  1. Peace Memorial Park

    Begin at the park and Atomic Bomb Dome, allowing time for a thoughtful introduction and quiet reflection.

  2. Peace Memorial Museum

    Visit at a pace that respects the subject matter. Families may wish to discuss the displays and the length of this stop in advance.

  3. Lunch & transfer to the ferry

    Pause for lunch, then travel to the ferry connection. Allow time for boarding rather than treating the island as a quick detour.

  4. Miyajima & Itsukushima Shrine

    Explore the shrine and waterfront before returning. The appearance of the torii changes with the tide; the final order can be adjusted accordingly.

Pace & transport

Make the day work for you.

Allow a full day, including rail or vehicle transfers and ferry travel. This route starts and ends in the Hiroshima area. Arrival from another city and onward trains need separate planning.

Choose a different focus

Another way to see Hiroshima & Miyajima.

For a gentler six-hour day, stay in Hiroshima and pair the peace sites with Shukkeien. A Mount Misen excursion is better reserved for an island-focused day rather than squeezed into this itinerary.

Tour details

Clear arrangements before you travel.

What is included in the quote?

Your written proposal confirms the touring duration, meeting point, return point, guide or driver service, and transport arrangement. Admission tickets, meals, local transport, ferries, parking, tolls, and optional activities are included only where explicitly listed. There is no fixed published price for this sample route.

Can we shorten the day or reduce walking?

Tell us your preferred walking distance, steps you want to avoid, and any wheelchair or stroller requirements. We can propose fewer stops, more rest time, or vehicle support. Access arrangements are confirmed for the chosen sights before booking.

Can we add a cultural experience?

Yes, subject to availability. An experience generally replaces a sightseeing stop or needs a longer day. Let us know what interests you so we can include booking requirements and costs in the proposal.
