What to expect

Explore Hiroshima and Miyajima on a private full-day tour that blends powerful history, cultural depth, and sacred landscapes—guided at your own pace with thoughtful local insight.

Capital of the prefecture of the same name, Hiroshima (広 島) is the most important city of the Chugoku region. It was founded in 1589 on the north coast of the Seto Inland Sea (Setonaikai) by the feudal lord Terumoto Mori.

Besides the tragedy on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima is also known for its rich history, culture, and identity.

You will combine a mix of World Heritage Sites, insight into Japanese history and culture, and a relaxed excursion to the picturesque Miyajima (宮島) with the famous ‘floating’ torii gate which at high tide seems to float on the water. A sight ranked as one of Japan’s three best views.

With a private guide, the experience unfolds at a respectful pace, balancing historical insight with cultural discovery and quiet moments to absorb the surroundings.
