Hiroshima Peace Memorial & Miyajima Private Car Tour

Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima in one private shore excursion · 6.5 hours

  • 6.5 hours
  • 🚗 Private car
  • 🗣 English guide
  • Cruise port pickup

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.
