Itinerary
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a tribute to the victims of the atomic bomb as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack at the end of World War II. The A-bomb Dome stands out conspicuously in the centre of this tranquil, peaceful park. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum collects and displays belongings left by the victims, photos, and other materials that convey the horror of that event. A must-visit for anyone visiting Hiroshima
Step into a world of timeless beauty and serene landscapes at Miyajima Island, where nature, history, and spirituality converge to create an unforgettable experience. Known as the "Island of Gods," this UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the iconic Itsukushima Shrine, with its striking "floating" torii gate—one of Japan's most picturesque views. As you stroll through lush forests, you’ll encounter playful deer roaming freely, majestic temples nestled in the hills, and the awe-inspiring Mount Misen, offering panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea. Whether you’re exploring ancient shrines, savoring local delicacies like fresh oysters, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the island’s untouched beauty, Miyajima promises a journey filled with wonder. Perfect for nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape, Miyajima Island is a must-visit destination that captures the essence of Japan’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
The Peace Memorial Museum offers an in-depth look into the events of that fateful day, providing insight into the impact of the atomic bomb and the enduring strength of the people of Hiroshima. Each exhibit tells a story that honors the victims while promoting global peace. This emotionally powerful destination is more than a historical site—it's a call to action for a peaceful world. A visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is an essential experience that will leave a lasting impression on your heart and mind. Join us for a thoughtful journey through history and reflection, where hope blossoms in the heart of Hiroshima.
One of the few structures that survived the devastation, now a symbol of resilience and a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you walk through the park, you'll encounter moving monuments like the Peace Flame, which will burn until the world is free of nuclear weapons, and the Children's Peace Monument, a tribute to the young victims of the bombing.

About Hiroshima
Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.
Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
