How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

A dark legacy may be what Hiroshima is infamously renowned for but this surprising Japanese city is also a friendly, picturesque paradise for foodies. You could wander through the Peace Memorial Park, with tribute memorials and often even several survivors on-site and willing to share their stories. You could also enjoy a ferry ride to Miyajima, just twenty minutes away and famed for its floating torii in the Seto Inland Sea. Here you can also visit the oldest temple in Miyajima or allow your tastebuds a little treat whilst relaxing with a traditional Japanese sweet set, including delicious flavors from the Momiji Manju you’ll just have to try for yourself (local specialty, perfect as an ‘omiyage’, or food souvenir).

Ken was very precious in the organization of the trip to Miyajima, he is very knowledgeable about history, culture but also fun facts and anecdotes. Without him we would not have been able to benefit so much of our time on the island. I recommend him !
