This full-day bus tour of about eight hours starts at Hiroshima Station or Hiroden-Miyajimaguchi Station, depending on your chosen option. The tour includes transportation and a bilingual English-Spanish guide. From the meeting point, the bus takes you to the ferry terminal for a short boat ride to Miyajima Island. Here, you will spend about three hours visiting Itsukushima Shrine, known for its wooden corridors and the floating torii gate visible during high tide. After exploring the shrine, you have free time to walk the island’s streets, visit local shops, and try regional foods like grilled oysters and momiji manju pastries. If you selected the Miyajima-only option, the tour ends after the ferry ride back to Hiroshima. For those who chose the combined Hiroshima and Miyajima visit, the tour continues with a three-hour stop at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. You can walk through the park, see the Atomic Bomb Dome, and reflect at the monuments commemorating the 1945 bombing. The tour finishes back at Hiroshima Station, where the guide leaves you to continue your plans or explore further on your own. Food and drinks are not included in the tour price.
