What To Expect
Itsukushima Shrine
A World Heritage site. Established in the 6th century, this shrine is one of Japan's finest, and is famous for its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style structure (architecture representative of a nobles' residence in the Heian period). 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.
Miyajima
Time for lunch is allotted on Miyajima. This region is known for oysters, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and conger eel rice bowl, which are available at many shops on Miyajima. Customers are free to enjoy their preferred meals. *Lunch is not included in the tour booking charge.

5.00Great tour. Lots of walking but there was no option. I personally would have preferred a bit less time at Miyajima and more time at the Peace Memorial Museum, but my wife says she thought it was just right.
Very informative and eye opening tour!

5.00We had such an enjoyable and educational time on our tour with Masa! She was an amazing guide and provided so much information and history about Hiroshima and Miyajima. The tour thru Peace Park and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was enlightening and very emotional. Masa provided stories that painted very vivid scenes and helped you understand exactly what the people of Hiroshima experienced. The stop at Miyajima Island was very fun as you got to see the deer and tour the beautiful shrine.
Hiroshima is a must see in Japan

5.00Kay did a really nice job despite somewhat adverse weather conditions. The Peace Memorial Museum is a powerful experience, and a reminder that there is no place in this world for indiscriminate killing
Well worth it.
