Activity itinerary

Cruise Terminal

Hiroshima has two cruise ship ports (Ujina and Itsukaichi), and I will pick you up at the correct one. The official cruise ship schedule provided by Hiroshima Prefecture will be checked in advance to ensure we meet at the right port. The order of visiting Miyajima (Hatsukaichi City) and the Hiroshima city center will be arranged flexibly based on your schedule, the weather, and any other circumstances on the day.

JR West Miyajima Ferry

After a 40–50 minute drive, we will park near the ferry terminal and enjoy a short 10‑minute ferry ride to Miyajima. Since the island has very limited parking and the road conditions are not ideal for cars, we do not cross to the island by vehicle.

Itsukushima Shrine Torii

While walking toward Itsukushima Shrine, the iconic Great Torii gate gradually comes into sight. You can enjoy the surroundings and take photos as we approach.

Itsukushima Jinja

40m
Admission ticket included

We will continue on to Itsukushima Shrine, Japan’s only shrine built over the water. As we walk through its graceful 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

We will then 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, creating a calm and spiritual atmosphere. Visiting the temple is optional, so 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

We will spend a fun time strolling along the shopping street, enjoying local food and drinks and browsing for souvenirs.

Ground Zero

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

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

Your guide will share the stories and significance of the memorials and monuments as we explore 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.)

Ujinahatoba Park Parking Lot

We will return to the port where your ship is docked. On the way back, we can spend some time talking about your visit and any thoughts you’d like to share. If you still have a lot of time before your ship departs, you may also choose to end the tour in front of the museum and return to the port 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.
