After soaking in Miyajima’s beauty, enjoy a brief ferry ride with incredible views of the coast and torii gate from the water, with the city skyline and mountains as a scenic backdrop. Back on land, journey by bus to Hiroshima for a reflective visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
This impactful site honors the memory of those affected by the 1945 atomic bombing, serving as a solemn reminder and a call for peace. The Hiroshima Peace Park, where the memorial resides, provides a tranquil space for reflection and quiet remembrance. Finally, return by bus, concluding your tour back at Hiroshima Station.
