Hiroshima and Miyajima Tour

Hiroshima Castle and Itsukushima Shrine are key landmarks on this tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima.

Description

We will meet at Hiroshima Station to begin our bus journey, exploring the history of Japan.

On the way, you will see a modern reconstruction of Hiroshima Castle, originally destroyed by the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945.

We will arrive at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial for a half-hour tour of the memorial park, which honors the victims of World War II, including the Genbaku Dome.
