Itinerary

Stop 1

Travelers will walk through the vermilion-lacquered corridors of Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its floating appearance on the sea. They’ll see the iconic torii gate rising from the water — one of Japan’s most scenic and recognizable views — and learn how the shrine was built to honor nature and the Shinto gods. The experience also includes time to enjoy the peaceful seaside atmosphere and capture unforgettable photos of this beautiful floating shrine.

Stop 2

Omotesando Shopping Street is the lively main street of Miyajima, filled with shops and local food stalls. Travelers can try freshly grilled oysters, momiji manju (maple-leaf shaped cakes), and browse handmade souvenirs. It’s a fun, casual area to experience local life and taste the flavors of Hiroshima.

Stop 3

Daishō-in is a Shingon Buddhist temple on Miyajima, set into the forested base of Mount Misen. It feels noticeably different from the main shrine area—less open and coastal, more enclosed and spiritual.

Stop 4

Atomic Bomb Dome, the preserved remains of a building destroyed in the 1945 atomic bombing. Learn the historical context of the site, its survival near the blast hypocenter, and its role today as a UNESCO World Heritage symbol of peace and nuclear disarmament. The tour includes time for reflection within Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

Stop 5

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum documents the atomic bombing of Hiroshima through artifacts, survivor accounts, and historical exhibits, emphasizing the human cost of nuclear war and the importance of peace.
