5.00Great day with lots to do in a day. Bomb site, memorial site, museum and then a lovely local lunch. A quick ferry ride to miyijima, Tori gates, temples, deers and markets. Organised trip from Kyoto station to Hiroshima and back.
Well worth your time and money

5.00The whole day was worth it. The guides in both cities were amazing and so nice. The history, the sites, the driver, and the food was amazing. This trip is worth it.

5.00This day tour was amazing. Being able to walk the area directly underneath the air burst was interesting. We were also able to see the museum but I caution that it can be crowded and the set up can feel rushed. After that we spent the afternoon seeing the sights on a small island. Takane our guide provided great information along the way.
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...
