Must-see Hiroshima awaits! Begin your day of exploring this historic city at Shukkeien gardens, where your local guide will lead you to a typical Japanese tea house for a tea ceremony and then onto the postcard-perfect bamboo forest and where the Yozakura (Night Cherry blossoms) are best found, come season. From here, Hiroshima castle and all its secret treasures await exploring. Locally known as ‘Carp Castle’ ask your guide for a happy snap with the surrounding koi pond as your memorable backdrop. The infamous A-Bomb Dome is something you need to see firsthand, hear the stories from survivors who frequent the site, and then continue on to the nearby Peace Memorial park, with its beautiful fountains serving as a reminder of human endurance.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ken. Ken knew all the right sports and viewpoints. Despite the rain and clouds blocking the views Ken made the cable car ride up Mount Misen a memorable experience. He was a terrific guide and explained everything making the visit enjoyable and memorable.

We really enjoyed our tour of Miyajima! Our guide was Kaori - she did an excellent job of communicating ahead of time, helped us thoroughly explore Miyajima (including less touristy areas), and taught us about the culture and history of Miyajima. She also provided very helpful recommendations for places to visit/eat outside of our tour in Hiroshima. She even tried to call and make a reservation at a restaurant for us before we arrived in Japan. We would recommend anyone visiting Miyajima to sign up for this guided tour.
