Join an English-speaking H.I.S. guide for an 8-hour Hiroshima day tour covering the A-Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and Miyajima’s Itsukushima Shrine. Guides such as Hiro, Joe, Miyuki, and Takane have been praised for clear explanations and warm service. The bus and ferry make this a practical first look at both destinations.

“The tour was a highlight of our trip, the only improvement would be to allow people a lot more time in the peace garden and museum for reflection and to wander off and read the memorials around the gardens. We seemed to be rushed through the park to the museum with no real stopping or wandering of our own.”
