What To Expect

Miyajima

Miyajima (宮島) is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views. While officially named Itsukushima, the island is more commonly referred to as Miyajima, Japanese for "shrine island". This is because the island is so closely related to its key shrine, Itsukushima Shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water. Miyajima is a romantic place, best enjoyed by staying overnight at one of the island's ryokan. While there are usually many day tourists, in the evening the area becomes much quieter and more peaceful. There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the same sites as the tourists, and in the evening they sleep along the walking paths.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is the largest of Hiroshima's sites related to the atomic bomb. Designed by renowned architect Tange Kenzo (1913-2005), the museum opened in 1955, and in 2006 it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The museum consists of two adjacent buildings inside Peace Memorial Park. The main hall houses an extensive collection of artifacts from the time of the bombing, while the east building is focused on peace education through a variety of media. The main hall recently underwent major renovation, and its collection is now even more powerful and moving.

Tomo, our tour guide was very thoughtful in structuring the tour. We went to Miyajima first as it would be high tide when we saw the famous Torii. It rained the entire day but we still enjoyed the tour.
Great mix of history, food and beautiful scenery

Our guide Rimona was a pleasure to be with. She is knowledgeable and prepared to do the best tour of both Myiajima And Hiroshima. Very grateful for her service! We had a beautiful day with two different boat rides. Time for some shopping. She introduced us to favorite foods and historical places. Our fav food was at the Konokomyaki restaurant!! Also Hiroshima oysters are wonderful.. and we have tasted many! Don’t miss these two food experiences. Fishcake on a stick very good in Myajima. It was a 10 star tour.
An excellent if sobering day

This was a very full day. The guide, Miyuki, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and her English was very good. She showed us some things off the beaten track and explained the culture on Miyajima. She took us round the Hiroshima peace park and I felt helped us learn more about Japan. One of the best guided trips we've had and Miyuki made all the difference. An excellent if sobering day.
Excellent 1 day Tour!

I absolutely loved my tour and especially my tour guide. She was so informative and knowledgeable about everything on the tour. It was such a great experience! The only drawback was that because I was traveling solo I had to pay twice the amount. I didn't feel I should pay double.

Arki was great, allocating time for each itinerary location to ensure we did not feel rushed at the end of the day. The day went so quick but finished the day with a better understanding of the lingering affects of war on families
Great tour a definite must do
