Our Hiroshima Tour
Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima in one private shore excursion · 6.5 hours
Discover Hiroshima's essential highlights on a comfortable private tour from the cruise port. Travel in an air-conditioned private vehicle and leave the stress of navigating unfamiliar public transportation behind, with smooth door-to-door service throughout the day.
Begin with Hiroshima's most important historical sites: the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. These deeply moving places offer an opportunity to learn about the consequences of war and Hiroshima's enduring message of peace. For further context before your visit, read our guide to the differences between the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
Continue to Miyajima, one of Japan's most iconic and beautiful destinations. Stroll its lively shopping street, see the famous Itsukushima Shrine, and take time to enjoy local favourites — from crispy fried Momiji Manju and freshly grilled Hiroshima oysters to Hiroshima lemon drinks and grilled conger eel.
Perfect for cruise guests, this private experience brings together Hiroshima's history, beautiful scenery, authentic local flavours, and cultural highlights — all while travelling comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, and the Peace Memorial Museum.
See the famous Itsukushima Shrine and its iconic torii gate framed by the sea and mountains.
Enjoy time to explore Miyajima's shopping street and try local specialities at your own pace.
Note: Sample timing — the itinerary can be adjusted to your ship schedule, interests, and pace. Food and drinks on Miyajima are at your own expense.

Our standard itinerary visits both areas in approximately 6.5 hours. Whether it suits your cruise stop depends on your arrival time, all-aboard time, and berth location. Please send us these details so we can confirm whether the full itinerary is appropriate.
The private vehicle is used for mainland travel, including the journey between the cruise port, central Hiroshima, and the Miyajima ferry area. We travel to Miyajima by ferry and explore the island on foot. Walking is also required within Peace Memorial Park and the museum.
The exact meeting point depends on your ship and berth. We confirm the pickup instructions before the tour, and your guide and vehicle meet you at the agreed location.
The car reduces travel on foot between areas, but the itinerary still involves walking in Peace Memorial Park, the museum, and on Miyajima. Please contact us before booking if you use a wheelchair or have difficulty with longer walks. We will discuss the route, access requirements, and possible adjustments with you.
The tour includes a private English-speaking guide, a private air-conditioned vehicle, cruise-port pickup and drop-off, admission fees for the itinerary, and round-trip ferry tickets. Food and drinks are paid separately.
Please contact us with your port times before booking. We can discuss whether an adjusted itinerary is possible and which sights should take priority, rather than trying to fit too much into a short visit.
