On this full-day Hiroshima excursion from Kyoto, we’re joined by a local historian who will help us grapple with the destruction this city faced, as well as how it was rebuilt to become the thriving hub it is today. We’ll visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum and the Atomic Bomb Dome before grabbing a quick lunch and heading to Miyajima Island, known for its shrine, torii gate, and stunning views. This tour digs into the contrasts that define Japan—war and peace, urban development, and serene nature, providing a fully fleshed-out idea of what life is like in this important city.

Is it possible to add more participants in my group after checkout?
If you add participants after the time of booking we cannot guarantee it can be accommodated within a 30 day period before your tour date. Please reach out as soon as you know to inquire about the possibility.
I have a JR Pass, can I use it instead of the train ticket that the guide will buy for me?
Unfortunately not: the only way for you to sit with the guide on the train is by using tickets bought directly by the guide, therefore you must purchase tickets through us.
Is this tour suitable for children? This walk is not a part of our official family program. Being 12 hours long and involving significant travel time and walking, this tour can be tricky to manage with children. For a day trip from Kyoto that is less time-intensive and more family-friendly, see our Nara Day Trip.
