Marvel at the breathtaking sights of Hiroshima Bay as you ferry to the tranquil Miyajima Island. Home to the iconic Itsukushima Shrine with its floating torii gate, Miyajima promises unforgettable panoramic views and a serene spiritual sanctuary. Time it right, and you'll see the mystical spectacle of the gate appearing to rise from the sea at high tide, one touted as one of Japan's top three views.

A poignant stop on our itinerary is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the Atomic Bomb Dome, this somber testament to peace stands near the epicenter of the devastating 1945 atomic bombing.

Also, the surrounding Peace Memorial Park offers museums and monuments dedicated to the victims that promote a peaceful future.

Next, explore the serene Shukkeien Garden, a resilience symbol restored to its enduring beauty after World War II's wreckage. Marvel at landscapes mimicking natural formations in miniature, from valleys and mountains to forests. Here, you can reflect and bask in the tranquil atmosphere that has been a peaceful haven since 1620 when the Asano samurai clan first created it.

The itinerary may adapt to weather or crowds, ensuring you the best Hiroshima experience. Experience Hiroshima's historical significance, cultural charm, and thrilling sights with our shore excursion.
