2. Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Atomic Bomb Dome)

3. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

4. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

You’ll have free time to explore the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which offers detailed exhibits about the atomic bombing and its aftermath. This is an opportunity to understand the emotional and historical impact of the event.

5. Travel to Miyajima Island by Ferry

6. Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki Lunch (if selected)

Arriving on Miyajima, enjoy a traditional Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki lunch. This savory pancake, made with layers of cabbage, pork, noodles, and egg, is a local specialty.

7. Itsukushima Shrine

Visit Itsukushima Shrine, one of Japan’s most iconic Shinto shrines. Famous for its “floating” torii gate, which appears to stand in the sea during high tide, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true spiritual and cultural treasure.

8. Daishoin Temple

Explore Daishoin Temple, a historic Buddhist temple located on Mount Misen. Renowned for its stunning gardens and numerous stone statues, the temple’s tranquil atmosphere offers the perfect setting for peaceful reflection.

9. Free Time at Omotesando Street

After visiting Daishoin Temple, enjoy free time to explore Omotesando Street, Miyajima’s bustling main shopping area. The street is lined with shops offering local specialties and souvenirs. Savor traditional snacks or browse for unique items such as hand-painted fans or maple-themed crafts.
