What you can expect

  • Experience two of Hiroshima’s most important destinations in one private day, combining Peace Memorial Park, a direct high-speed ferry to Miyajima, UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, and panoramic Seto Inland Sea views from the Miyajima Ropeway.

    Begin at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and discover the storey of the city through the Atomic Bomb Dome, memorials, and peaceful riverside surroundings.

    Learn about the events of 1945, the people affected, and Hiroshima’s remarkable recovery while understanding how the city became an international symbol of peace.

    Then make the journey itself part of the experience.

    Board the direct high-speed ferry near Peace Memorial Park and travel through Hiroshima’s rivers and across Hiroshima Bay towards Miyajima.

    During the approximately 45-minute journey, enjoy views of the city, water, coastline, and islands of the Seto Inland Sea without the need for a train transfer.

    Arrive directly on Miyajima and discover one of Japan’s most celebrated sacred islands.

    Visit UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its vermilion buildings along the tidal shoreline and the iconic Great Torii Gate.

    Learn why Miyajima has been considered sacred for centuries and see how the changing tide transforms the relationship between the shrine, sea, and torii.

    Continue through the island’s traditional streets, where wooden buildings, local shops, food stalls, and free-roaming deer create a completely different atmosphere from central Hiroshima.

    Then head towards Momijidani and begin the final major experience of the day: the Miyajima Ropeway.

    Ride above the forested slopes of Mt. Misen, transfer between the two ropeway sections, and reach Shishiiwa Station high above the island.

    From the upper area, enjoy panoramic views across the Seto Inland Sea, surrounding islands, forested mountains, and Miyajima below.

    This tour does not include the hike to the summit of Mt. Misen. Instead, enjoy the scenic ropeway journey and elevated viewpoints without the additional mountain hike.

    The contrast is the heart of the experience: Hiroshima’s powerful history, a scenic journey across the water, the sacred atmosphere of Miyajima, and panoramic views from high above the Seto Inland Sea—all in one private day.

    Because this is a private tour, the pace can be adjusted naturally for your group, with time for history, shrine culture, island scenery, local streets, photos, shopping, or rest breaks.

    Ferry and ropeway services are subject to weather, maintenance, safety, and operating conditions.

    If the high-speed ferry or Miyajima Ropeway is unavailable, an alternative route or experience will be offered. If you do not accept the major change, the entire affected booking will receive a full refund.
