Highlights
Meet your local English-speaking guide in Hiroshima and let them handle all the logistics, ferry and shrine tickets, so you can focus on the magic of Japan’s “Island of the Gods.” Cross the Seto Inland Sea, greet the free-roaming deer, and learn how tides transform the famous vermilion torii: floating at high tide, walkable at low tide (your guide will check the tide forecast and aim for the best photo window). Explore the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, Omotesando shopping street, and the tranquil Daisho-in Temple. Along the way, enjoy a bite of freshly prepared Hiroshima oyster (grilled when in season) and a sweet momiji manju maple-leaf cake—local flavors beloved by islanders. Your guide snaps photos and shares them after the tour. Return to Hiroshima with insider tips for the rest of your trip.

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.
