What to expect
Start at Hiroshima Station and travel by coach to the city's peace landmarks. You'll walk through the memorial park and visit the museum at your own pace—plan 2–3 hours here. After lunch at a local Indian restaurant, head to Miyajimaguchi for the ferry crossing. The 10-minute journey offers excellent views of the torii gate, which sits in the water. On Miyajima Island, explore the shrine grounds and surrounding area before returning to Hiroshima. The day involves moderate walking, particularly around the shrine and park.
