Excellent tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima

5.00A full-day trip (8am to 8pm) which included bullet travel from Osaka and coach trips to Hiroshima and ferry to Miyajima. Our guide, Kane, was very well informed and shared lots of information about the places we visited. We were met at Osaka station, given bullet train tickets and escorted onto the platform. Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum were very moving experiences. We had plenty of time to look around the museum. Very nice lunch of traditional pancakes in a cafe by the ferry. Plenty of free time to explore Miyajiama after being shown around. We saw some amazing temples including the Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima. A good mix of time with the guide and and time on our own. Our group was about 40 people.
This is a great day trip...

5.00This is a great day trip with a perfect balance of histrionic and nature. Everyone who comes to the area should visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and work to eliminate nuclear weapons in the world. Miyajima was so beautiful and made for a nice nature trip after the museum. Watch out for the dear though. One sneaking one got one of my pastries while I guarded my drink. Kane and his team were great guides. Knowledgeable and accommodating.
It was a very great tour....

5.00Awesome tour! I started a bit lost looking for the right entrance but the team was on it and with their direction I managed to find my way without delaying the group. The tour directors were fantastic! Gave great information and kept us on schedule. Fair warning there was a decent amount of walking both at Hiroshima and at the island, but both were worth it. Lunch was delicious, and had options for those that have food allergies. If you didn’t get enough at lunch, there are a ton of places on the island to try as well many different things to try. Overall, it was a great experience. Watch out for the deer, though not as aggressive as the ones in Nara, they will still try to eat what you have.
Very great experience...

5.00The day was very well organised and Kane did very well in keeping the group together and on track. Be mindful that the itinerary is so packed, there isn't much time for toilet breaks or looking at leisure. Was a fantastic day though and would recommend.

5.00What an amazing day! Jam packed with so much knowledge shared by our wonderful guide Tom. The experience at Hiroshima Atomic Dome and Museum was somewhat rushed, although this was balanced by an afternoon at Miyajima which we all loved. We traveled with a teen, and she also got so much out of the day! Thank you team!
The bullet train option was well worth the extra cost.

5.00The Bullet train was worth the extra cost. We had over 7 hours to tour with time spread somewhat equally between the Peace Monument area and museum, with the Shrine and village on Miyajima Island.
The guided tour with Kane...

5.00The guided tour with Kane was awesome. He has interesting info about his hometown Hiroshima and Japan. The stops in Hiroshima make you reflect on a pivotal time in history and to strive for peace. Miyajima Island was a delight - from the ferry ride, the torii gate, shrine, to the oysters ( grilled and deep fried). Yum! Tour was organized and convenient ( tickets, Shinkansen rides). I will definitely recommend this tour.
A good tour
