Overview

  • Experience Hiroshima with a small, heartfelt tour (max 3 guests) that feels like spending the day with a local friend.

    This full-day private car tour is perfect for travellers who want to see “everything Hiroshima offers” in a single day.
    We will visit Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine, explore Peace Memorial Park and museum, stop for photos at Hiroshima Castle’s moat, and enjoy the serene beauty of Shukkeien Garden — all with minimal walking.

    Your Guide:
    I am a US university graduate and a Hiroshima government‑licensed guide who has led over 200 tours. I have also welcomed guests from around the world as a host mother. This tour is designed and guided by me from start to finish.

    About Cash:
    You won’t need to take out your wallet to pay transport and entrance fees in Japanese yen. All necessary tour costs are included, so you only need to bring enough for your lunch, drinks, and any souvenirs.

    My goal is simple: I want you to enjoy Hiroshima. Let’s have fun!

Activity itinerary

Hiroshima

  • 10m
We will meet at your preferred location in Hiroshima City. Details will be arranged through email before the tour. The order of visiting Miyajima (Hatsukaichi City) and the Hiroshima city centre will be adjusted flexibly based on your schedule, the weather, and any conditions on the day.

JR West Miyajima Ferry

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
After a 40–50 minute drive, we will park near the ferry terminal and take a short 10‑minute ferry ride to Miyajima. Since the roads on the island are primarily for residents and local businesses, we do not cross to the island by vehicle. Distance & Walking Time Once you get off the Miyajima ferry, it’s about a 15‑minute walk to Itsukushima Shrine. The distance is approximately 800 metres (about 2,600 ft), and the path is flat with no slopes. If walking this distance round‑trip is difficult for you, please let me know and we can adjust the plan accordingly.

大鳥居のフォトスポット

  • 5m
As we walk towards Itsukushima Shrine, the iconic Great Torii gate gradually comes into view. You can enjoy the scenery and take photos as we approach.

Itsukushima Jinja

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
We will then explore Itsukushima Shrine, Japan’s only shrine built over the water. As we walk through its elegant corridors, your guide will explain the history and features of the site, and you can enjoy taking photos or purchasing charms along the way.

Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street

  • 1h
Omotesando Shopping Street is a lively area filled with souvenir shops, restaurants, and plenty of delicious street‑food options. Some guests prefer to enjoy the local snacks while walking, while others choose to sit down for a meal such as oysters or Hiroshima‑style okonomiyaki. If you prefer a restaurant lunch, we can discuss it on the tour day, as we may need to adjust the schedule depending on your available time in Hiroshima and restaurant crowd levels.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Monument

  • 5m
We will take the ferry back to the mainland, with the ferry ride and drive taking roughly one hour in total, before arriving in Hiroshima City. After parking the car nearby, our walking tour will begin at the Hiroshima A‑bomb Hypocenter.

Atomic Bomb Dome

  • 10m
At the Atomic Bomb Dome, we will spend some quiet time reflecting on Hiroshima’s history and the significance of this landmark.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Our final stop will be the Peace Memorial Museum, a quiet and reflective space where conversations are kept to a minimum. Since all exhibits are displayed in both Japanese and English, you will explore the museum on your own after I scan the QR code of the ticket I have reserved for you at the entrance. If you prefer an audio guide in another language, I can assist you in renting one. (Audio guides are not included in the tour price.)

Shukkei-en Garden
