Experience Hiroshima’s powerful history and Miyajima’s sacred beauty in one comfortable day with a private guide. This tour combines central Hiroshima, a scenic high-speed ferry ride, Miyajima’s iconic landmarks, and panoramic views from the Miyajima Ropeway—without a demanding mountain hike.
Begin in central Hiroshima and visit the Peace Memorial Park area. Learn about the city’s history, the impact of the atomic bombing, and how Hiroshima rebuilt itself as an international symbol of peace. Depending on the route and available time, your guide may also introduce nearby landmarks and local city scenery.
After exploring Hiroshima, board a high-speed ferry and travel directly towards Miyajima across the Seto Inland Sea. Enjoy views of the water and surrounding islands as the famous Great Torii Gate gradually comes into sight.
Upon arrival, visit the area around Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its elegant architecture built above the tidal shore. Learn why Miyajima has long been considered sacred and how the changing tides transform the appearance of the shrine and torii gate.
Continue through Miyajima’s traditional streets, where local shops, food stalls, historic buildings, and freely roaming deer create the island’s distinctive atmosphere. Pause for photos, browse local specialities, or enjoy the waterfront at a pace that suits your group.
Next, make your way to the Miyajima Ropeway and travel above the forested slopes of Mt. Misen. From the gondola and upper station area, enjoy elevated views of the coastline, surrounding mountains, and islands scattered across the Seto Inland Sea.
This version of the tour does not include the hike to the summit of Mt. Misen. Instead, you can spend time enjoying the ropeway views and peaceful mountain atmosphere before descending comfortably.
Because this is a private tour, the pace can be adjusted to your interests. Spend more time learning about Hiroshima’s history, exploring Miyajima, taking photos, browsing shops, or resting when needed.
This full-day experience is ideal for travellers who want to see Hiroshima and Miyajima together while combining history, culture, island scenery, efficient transport, and spectacular ropeway views without a strenuous hike.
