The bullet train option was well worth the extra cost. - The Bullet train was worth the extra cost. We had over 7 hours to tour with time spread somewhat equally between the Peace Monument area and museum, with the Shrine and village on Miyajima Island.

The guided tour with Kane... - The guided tour with Kane was awesome. He has interesting info about his hometown Hiroshima and Japan. The stops in Hiroshima make you reflect on a pivotal time in history and to strive for peace. Miyajima Island was a delight - from the ferry ride, the torii gate, shrine, to the oysters ( grilled and deep fried). Yum! Tour was organized and convenient ( tickets, Shinkansen rides). I will definitely recommend this tour.

A truly emotional, beautiful and positive experience - This is a very unique experience. It’s incredibly sad and emotional, but also oddly positive. The visit to Mayijama was absolutely incredible. So beautiful and charming. Our guide “Joe” was so kind and helpful. We highly recommend this experience.

Unmissable tour - Beautiful day; both stops of the tour are absolutely must-do and inevitable for a trip to Japan that is complete. The guided tour helps to include everything in a single day. Our guide Tomoko is a sweet lady, she told us so many things and always made sure that everything was fine. In the end, he even helped us change train tickets. You can see that she does this job with a lot of passion and we would recommend her as a guide.

Experience worth exploring! - This was an incredible experience, with customer service that excelled. From the organized greeting and ticket handoff with instructions on riding the train, to the tours at Hiroshima and Miyajima with our guide Hiro, the lunch she treated us to, and the easy return home...we had a most memorable time.

Quick but thorough - The trip was smooth and well-organized. A staff member was waiting for us at Shin-Osaka Station with our tickets and guided us to the bullet train, making sure everyone boarded safely. When we arrived in Hiroshima, Kane was there to meet us. The bus driver had prepared bottled water for us, and the air conditioning on the bus was a welcome relief on such a hot day. The itinerary covers all the key sights, but time at each stop is limited. It’s a fast-paced day, but everything runs efficiently. If you finish the tour early, there's even an option to catch an earlier train back to Osaka or Kyoto. Overall, I had a wonderful experience!

A seamless day trip to add the the itinerary - Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, making it easy and stress-free to enjoy the day. The bullet train tickets were all arranged for us in advance, and there was always someone to help guide us at the right stations, which made the logistics really simple. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, offering meaningful insights into Hiroshima’s history with sensitivity and respect. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum was deeply moving — an emotional experience that everyone should have at least once. The pace gave us enough time to explore and reflect without feeling rushed. We were unsure about the Japanese pancake before the tour but after explaining what it was and of course tasting it, we were very glad to have included the lunch option. Miyajima was a beautiful contrast to the morning’s solemnity — peaceful and scenic, with the famous floating torii gate and charming little streets to wander. We appreciated the balance of guided time and free time, especially at Miyajima where we could explore the shops and try local snacks. If you’re looking for a day trip that combines cultural significance with stunning natural beauty, this tour is absolutely worth it. Everything is taken care of — all you have to do is show up and soak it in.
