This full-day bus tour lasts about 7 hours and 40 minutes, departing from Hiroshima Station and covering key sites in Hiroshima and Miyajima. The tour begins with a ferry ride to Miyajima Island, where participants spend about three hours including one hour for lunch at Itsukushima Shrine. The shrine is located in a small inlet, with its famous red torii gate standing in the Seto Inland Sea. Visitors can walk paths around the inlet and take photos of the torii from the nearest ferry point. After returning to Hiroshima city, the tour visits the Atomic Bomb Dome for about one hour. This site was designated a national historical site in 1995 and a World Heritage Site in 1996 to symbolize the call for nuclear disarmament and peace. Next, the group spends about one hour at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a 122,100-square-meter area developed after World War II to house peace memorial facilities. Designed by Kenzo Tange and others, the park includes the Peace Memorial Museum buildings and the International Conference Center. The final stop is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, where visitors spend about one hour viewing exhibits about the bombing on August 6 and its effects. If the museum is closed, the tour instead visits the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims. The tour is conducted by an English-speaking guide and includes admission to Itsukushima Shrine and the Peace Memorial Museum, ferry tickets to Miyajima, lunch featuring Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki with options for dietary preferences, and air-conditioned transport. Participants receive earphone guides and can store luggage in the bus compartment. The tour is not recommended for those unable to walk long distances. Scheduling advice is given for travelers using the Shinkansen after 6:30 PM.
