Overview

Experience Hiroshima with a small, heartfelt tour (max 3 guests) that feels like spending the day with a local friend. We will visit Hiroshima’s two most meaningful UNESCO sites—the Peace Memorial Museum and Itsukushima Shrine—with a schedule tailored to you.

Your Local Guide:
I am a U.S. university graduate and a government‑licensed guide who has led more than 160 tours. I have also welcomed guests from around the world as a host mother. This tour is personally designed and guided by me from start to finish.

Relax:
I will pick you up anywhere in Hiroshima City, and you can end the tour wherever is easiest for you. Traveling by car lets you avoid crowded trains, slow streetcars, and the hassle of reserving high‑speed boats. (For cruise‑port pickup, book my “Hiroshima Cruise Pickup :Miyajima & Peace Park Tour with Car”)

Easy to Plan Your Budget:
Most costs are included, such as admission fees at the places we visit.
My goal is simple: I want you to enjoy Hiroshima. Let’s have fun!

Activity itinerary

Hiroshima

  • 10m
We will meet at your preferred location in Hiroshima City. Details will be arranged through email before the tour. The order of visiting Miyajima (Hatsukaichi City) and the Hiroshima city center will be adjusted flexibly based on your schedule, the weather, and any conditions on the day.

JR West Miyajima Ferry

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
After a 40–50 minute drive, we will park near the ferry terminal and take a short 10‑minute ferry ride to Miyajima. Since the island has very limited parking and the roads are not ideal for cars, we do not cross to the island by vehicle.

大鳥居のフォトスポット

  • 5m
As we walk toward Itsukushima Shrine, the iconic Great Torii gate gradually comes into view. You can enjoy the scenery and take photos as we approach.

Itsukushima Jinja

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
We will then explore Itsukushima Shrine, Japan’s only shrine built over the water. As we walk through its elegant corridors, your guide will explain the history and features of the site, and you can enjoy taking photos or purchasing charms along the way.

Daishoin

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
Next, we will visit Daishoin Temple, one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places on Miyajima. The temple grounds are filled with colorful statues, peaceful pathways, and stunning views. This visit is optional—if you prefer to spend more time on other experiences, such as trying local food, shopping, or staying longer at the Peace Memorial Museum, we can easily adjust the plan to your interests.

Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street

  • 40m
We will enjoy strolling along the shopping street, tasting local specialties, and browsing for souvenirs.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Monument

  • 5m
We will take the ferry back to the mainland, with the ferry ride and drive taking roughly one hour in total, before arriving in Hiroshima City. After parking the car nearby, our walking tour will begin at the Hiroshima A‑bomb Hypocenter.

Atomic Bomb Dome

  • 10m
At the Atomic Bomb Dome, we will spend some quiet time reflecting on Hiroshima’s history and the significance of this landmark.

Children's Peace Monument

  • 20m
Your guide will share the stories and meaning behind the memorials and monuments as we walk through Peace Memorial Park together.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Our final stop will be the Peace Memorial Museum, a quiet and reflective space where conversations are kept to a minimum. Since all exhibits are displayed in both Japanese and English, you will explore the museum on your own after I scan the QR code of the ticket I have reserved for you at the entrance. If you prefer an audio guide in another language, I can assist you in renting one. (Audio guides are not included in the tour price.)

Hiroshima

  • 10m
The tour will generally end at the location of your choice. If you prefer, you may end the tour at the museum and return to your hotel on your own by taxi or other transportation. (Taxi fares are not included in the tour price.) I will plan the itinerary according to your preferences, including your preferred ending point.
