Experience two very different sides of Hiroshima in one private day with a Japanese local guide.
Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park and Museum while hearing family stories connected to the atomic bombing, including second-generation survivor perspectives, and discover how Hiroshima rebuilt and carries its message of peace today.
Then explore Miyajima’s floating torii gate, UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, traditional streets and, when time allows, Daisho-in Temple. Discover why the island has been sacred for centuries and how Shinto, Buddhism and nature connect in Japan.
