A seamless day trip to add the the itinerary

4.00Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, making it easy and stress-free to enjoy the day. The bullet train tickets were all arranged for us in advance, and there was always someone to help guide us at the right stations, which made the logistics really simple. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, offering meaningful insights into Hiroshima’s history with sensitivity and respect. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum was deeply moving — an emotional experience that everyone should have at least once. The pace gave us enough time to explore and reflect without feeling rushed. We were unsure about the Japanese pancake before the tour but after explaining what it was and of course tasting it, we were very glad to have included the lunch option. Miyajima was a beautiful contrast to the morning’s solemnity — peaceful and scenic, with the famous floating torii gate and charming little streets to wander. We appreciated the balance of guided time and free time, especially at Miyajima where we could explore the shops and try local snacks. If you’re looking for a day trip that combines cultural significance with stunning natural beauty, this tour is absolutely worth it. Everything is taken care of — all you have to do is show up and soak it in.
Experience worth exploring!

5.00This was an incredible experience, with customer service that excelled. From the organized greeting and ticket handoff with instructions on riding the train, to the tours at Hiroshima and Miyajima with our guide Hiro, the lunch she treated us to, and the easy return home...we had a most memorable time.
Tom is amazing!

5.00We had an excellent tour with Tom. He was an efficient, friendly and organized guide who was very knowledgeable about every place we visited. It was a very hot day and he was thoughtful about including breaks in the shade during our times outside and encouraging us to drink water. He made our experience memorable and enjoyable!
Moving experience worth your time

4.00Wonderfully moving experience when visiting Hiroshima that gives you a lot of perspective and moments of reflection regarding the events surrounding the dropping of the atomic bomb. Highly encourage others to experience this. The visit to Miyajima island was a good one despite the rain. A beautiful island worth a visit. Our guide was ok, however at times was hard to understand resulting in us missing information. We had just come off another tour (9 days) where the guide was fantastic and offered up so much information as we traveled around which this guide did not, he only offered the basic information needed which was disappointing. Overall though we are glad we did this experience.
