1.From Hiroshima: Hiroshima & Miyajima 1 Day Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 8 hours · from $116Our pick

See Hiroshima’s Peace Park and A-Bomb Dome, eat okonomiyaki, then ferry to Miyajima’s floating shrine on this guided day tour.

“Takane was a nice guide and spoke English well. Although he said that it was his first time guiding in English, he managed to do a good job. Please continue working hard with guiding! As some previous reviews have stated, the ~1 hour freetimes at the Miyajima island and especially at Peace Memorial Museum are quite short as there is way more to see if one wants to immerse themselves to these places. However, this trip is a good starter course for these places and gives a glimpse to what maybe to do more next time one comes Hiroshima.”
