Hiroshima World Heritage - Atomic Bomb Dome + Itsukushima Shrine

Welcome to Hiroshima, the City of World Heritage! Let’s embark on a wonderful journey together! Spend a day traversing rich history and the seascape of World Heritage, collecting Hiroshima’s two core landmarks in one go. In the morning, head to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (Atomic Bomb Dome), visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Museum, Cenotaph, and Peace Bell. Quietly reflect on history, feel the city’s power of rebirth from ruins, and appreciate the preciousness of peace.

Afterward, depart for Miyajima. Take a ferry across the Seto Inland Sea to explore the World Heritage site, Itsukushima Shrine, and witness the breathtaking view of the “floating” Great Torii, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views. As the tide changes, the vermilion torii appears to float on the sea at high tide, and at low tide, you can walk to the base of the torii for a close-up view. Gentle wild deer can be seen everywhere on the island. Stroll through ancient temple corridors and admire the unique architectural aesthetics of Japanese water shrines. You can taste Miyajima’s specialties – charcoal-grilled oysters and maple leaf manju – to experience the authentic flavors of the Seto Inland Sea. This one-day itinerary combines historical contemplation with scenic spot check-ins.
