Historical heart - I questioned whether to include Hiroshima and was so glad that I did. My tour guide was Shion. He was welcoming and kind, we chatted the whole day about everything from food, travel, aspirations and family. We used the train and tram, walked and explored both Miyajima and Hiroshima. The wooden temples were breath taking and a must. As were those build slightly above high tide mark. We walked through the monk training tunnel, a small stair case down and you use your left hand to guide your way through the dark passage. The idea is that you use the time to get in sync with your senses and practise self reflecting. It was a bit too dark for my liking but Shion held my hand the whole way. I felt so proud when I returned to day light, only took approx 5 mins but I certainly second guessed myself haha. Mountains meet seaside, with a side of oyster farm and ferry. Made memories for sure. If you get the chance please book with Shion, you will have the best adventure 🫶🏼

Okay, would probably skip the tour next time and self direct. - Double check the meeting point as our booking had a different location to where the guide was and they left (before the 9am meeting time) without us. Regardless of that we managed to get hold of the guide and caught up the tour at Miyajima. The locations visited were stunning in their own ways but the insight and information provided by the guide was often vague and lacking in depth. Bo was a very friendly guide but was quietly spoken meaning not all of the group (8 people) could hear her comments at times.
