Explore the historic city of Hiroshima and the picturesque island of Miyajima on this unforgettable one-day tour. Departing from Osaka, you'll embark on a journey that will take you back in time and immerse you in the rich history and culture of Japan.
Your adventure begins with a scenic train ride from Osaka to Hiroshima, where you'll meet your knowledgeable local guide. From there, you'll embark on a walking tour of the iconic Itsukushima Shrine. Located on the island of Miyajima, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its stunning floating Torii gate, which appears to be floating on water during high tide. As you stroll through the shrine's tranquil grounds, you'll learn about its fascinating history and significance in Japanese culture.
Next, you'll visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, a powerful testament to the devastating impact of the atomic bomb that was dropped on the city during World War II. Through thought-provoking exhibits and personal stories, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the tragedy and the enduring spirit of resilience and peace that has emerged from it.
Continuing your walking tour, you'll make your way to the Atomic Bomb Dome, one of the few structures that survived the bombing. This hauntingly beautiful ruin serves as a poignant reminder of the city's past and stands as a symbol of hope for a nuclear-free world. Your guide will share stories and insights about the dome's history and the ongoing efforts to promote peace and disarmament.
After a busy morning of exploration, you'll have some free time to enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants in Hiroshima, where you can savor the city's famous okonomiyaki, a savory pancake filled with various ingredients.
In the afternoon, you'll have the option to join a guided walking tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a serene and reflective space dedicated to the memory of the atomic bomb victims. Alternatively, you can choose to explore the city at your own pace, visiting other attractions such as Hiroshima Castle or the Shukkeien Garden.
As the day comes to a close, you'll board the train back to Osaka, taking with you memories of a day filled with history, culture, and the indomitable spirit of Hiroshima and Miyajima.
