The contrast of the green of Mt. Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.

Fantastic tour

5.00Miyu was a wonderful guide. As a Hiroshima local, she provided a special perspective we could not have had on our own. Miyajima is gorgeous. We could have spent more time there. But Miyu’s guidance through peace park and the museum was perfect. The museum is so well done - a must for every human being.
Better on a tour than on our own

5.00The trip was well-planned with the fun activities happening in the morning (Torii Shrine and Miyajima with the fun shops, wild goats and beautiful views and then ending with the story of the Hiroshima atomic bombing and the museum. The museum was very difficult to walk through emotionally but it is done with truth and life too. The stories of survivors helped to overcome the sadness of the total destruction of a vibrant community and so many lost. Mayu was an excellent guide. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. She was clear on instructions and told us exactly where to be when.. She shared the story of her father and grandparents experience in Hiroshima on the day of the bombing.
Mayu = 10/10 Guide!

5.00The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable as she grew up locally. She was happy to answer questions but in reality we barely had any questions because she had prepped us so well for each part of our day before we experienced it. The tour is long but very worth it! There is time built in for your own exploration as well as guided tour time. I would highly recommend and if traveling back I would take more of my family and friends on this tour.

4.00The tour guide Tasheki was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable. The driver of our bus was a great driver very safe. Only issue we had was the map to the meeting place it was lacking detail from when we got of our train we spent more than 15min trying to find the reception desk. The signs direct you to the South end of the building which was very un helpful.
