This is a 350-meter arcade leading to Itsukushima Shrine.
Lined with souvenir shops selling Miyajima’s specialty products, establishments offering cuisine unique to Miyajima, and stores selling Hiroshima’s famous momiji manjū confection, the arcade is crowded with people looking for mementos and having their fill of food and drink.
Amidst an atmosphere that is uniquely Miyajima, there are stores that offer freshly made momiji manjū, a standard Miyajima souvenir.
After strolling through the shopping street reminiscent of times past with the guide, you will have your own lunch around the Miyajima Shopping Street area.
*Lunch is not included in the tour.

The sacred Mt. Misen can be found in Miyajima Island, where the gods are said to reside.
It is a place overflowing in biodiversity that Dr. Adolf Engler, a German botanist who visited Miyajima, was captivated by it.
The pristine and untouched Misen Primeval Forest has been designated as a national natural monument and is part of the designated area of the World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine.
The spectacular view of the cityscape and the Seto Inland Sea atop Mt. Misen is one of the highlights of the tour.
*You will take the ropeway to Shishiiwa Observatory.

With a bold and original layout using the sea, Itsukushima Shrine is one of the most well-known shrines in Japan and is a masterpiece of the Heian-era shinden-zukuri (palatial architecture) style. It was built in its present form by Taira no Kiyomori in the 12th century. Located on a shallow beach, the shrine grounds look as if they are floating on the sea at high tide, making for an elegant sight. The contrast with the greenery behind is also exceptionally beautiful. The shrine was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1996.

Kagura is a song and dance performance offered to the gods during Shinto rituals in Japan. Kagura is performed by people in splendid costumes and expressive kagura masks who dance to the accompaniment of taiko drums, flutes, and clappers. Though it has traditionally been performed as a ritual dedicated to Ujigami (local deity) to pray for a good harvest, it is now enjoyed by people as essential local entertainment for events and celebrations.

After finishing breakfast and checking out, please meet at the lobby before the departure time. Please leave large luggage at the hotel.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was opened in 1955 to convey to people around the world the reality of the damage caused by the atomic bomb, and to contribute to the abolition of nuclear weapons and the realization of lasting world peace, the spirit of Hiroshima. The museum collects and exhibits artifacts left behind by hibakusha (A-bomb victims), as well as photographs and other materials showing the devastation caused by the atomic bombing, and also tells of the history of Hiroshima before and after the bombing and the situation in the nuclear age.

The Peace Memorial Park is a large park located in the center of Hiroshima City, and was built near the hypocenter of the blast in the hope of lasting world peace.
The park includes the Atomic Bomb Dome, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, the Cenotaph for the Victims of the Atomic Bomb, and other historical destinations.
Unlike one-day tours, you will have plenty of time to leisurely look around and enjoy the park.
