From central Hiroshima it’s about an hour to the island by train and ferry, which is why so many people do it as a day trip. Stay into the late afternoon if your tour allows; the day crowds leave on the ferries and the shrine streets go quiet.
A thoughtful exploration of Hiroshima's poignant history and Miyajima's serene natural beauty, this one-day bus tour offers an immersive cultural experience.
