The Best Hisorshima shore Excursions

What You'll Get

Experience a journey of reflection and exploration with a Hiroshima shore excursion that delves into the rich history and profound significance of this iconic city. From the tranquil beauty of Shukkei-en Garden to the poignant memorials at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, this article invites you to discover the stories of resilience, peace, and reconciliation that define Hiroshima. Join us as we uncover the cultural treasures, historical landmarks, and efforts for a nuclear-free world that make Hiroshima a symbol of hope and remembrance for generations to come. 


Embark on a journey to Miyajima Island, a captivating destination that promises unforgettable experiences on a Hiroshima shore excursion. Nestled in the Seto Inland Sea, Miyajima is renowned for its natural beauty, sacred sites, and rich cultural heritage. From the iconic Itsukushima Shrine with its floating torii gate to the scenic trails of Mt. Misen offering panoramic views, this island captivates visitors with a blend of history, spirituality, and stunning landscapes. Join us as we delve into the enchanting allure of Miyajima, where each moment is a testament to the island's timeless charm and allure. 


Join us for an unforgettable experience in Hiroshima!


Our Japan shore adventures are created by Western destination experts who live in Japan combined with local Japanese tour specialists to showcase all the best attractions in Japan and provide a unique understanding of Japan from a Western point of view. This is why our Hiroshima shore packages are the most comprehensive and unparalleled.  

Highlights

  • Join us for an unforgettable adventure to Miyajima, one of Japan's most scenic and sacred islands. We'll start by picking you up from Hiroshima Port and driving to the downtown ferry terminal, where we'll board a lovely ferry with your guide to Miyajima.
  • We'll return to Hiroshima to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. We will spend just the time to view the ruin and skip the museum to save time for Shukkie-en Garden, our next stop. 
  • Explore Shukkie-en Garden, a historic condensed Japanese park featuring mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and islets to give the appearance that it is much larger. 
  • For some cruises that stay in Kobe overnight, we may organize an excursion to Hiroshima from Kobe Port. 


Hiroshima Shore Excursion Map

Hiroshima Shore excursion Top Attractions

Miyajima (宮島)

Miyajima (宮島) is a small island that lies just off the coast of Hiroshima. It is famous for its giant torii gate, which appears to float on the water when the tide is high. This is one of the three most beautiful views in Japan, and you'll be amazed by its majesty. The very last G7 Summit was held here in May 2023. The island is also home to Itsukushima Shrine, a stunning complex of buildings that are built over the water. The shrine is dedicated to the goddess of the sea and has a long history of worship. You'll learn about its fascinating culture and legends from your guide. 

As you explore the island, you'll also encounter friendly deers that roam freely among the visitors. They are very tame and curious, and you can feed them with special crackers that are sold on the island. They will make your trip even more fun and memorable.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (A-Bomb Dome)

The Memorial was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Across the river from the park stands the A-Bomb Dome, a former industrial promotion hall built in 1915 as the first western-style brick building in the city. It was one of the few structures that survived the atomic bomb blast, which killed everyone inside and thousands more in a radius of 2,000 feet. The preserved ruins of the dome became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.  As the cruise stops in Hiroshima for a limited period, we will only stop briefly at the Memorial Park to see the A-bomb building and skip the Museum. 

Shukkeien (縮景園) - Japanese Scenery Garden

Shukkeien Garden was built just after Hiroshima Castle in 1620. The atomic bomb once destroyed it. But it has been restored to its former glory. The garden is an example of traditional Japanese gardening. It is a daimyo garden built by Nagaakira Asano, the first feudal lord of the Hiroshima domain, as a garden for a villa. It was created to mimic China's "West Lake" because of its spectacular view of the mountain river, Kyoto Raku, and Miyama in the garden. There are islands of various sizes floating in the pond dug in the center of the garden. You can stroll through the neatly arranged valleys, bridges, and teahouses. The garden is filled with seasonal flowers and nature that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
