This accessible Hiroshima tour is designed for all guests, including those using a wheelchair.
Your journey begins at the port, where you'll board an accessible vehicle. Head to the Miyajima Ferry Terminal for a scenic ferry ride while admiring the iconic Great Torii Gate (Otorii) standing in the sea — a sight that perfectly captures Japan's spiritual beauty.
On Miyajima Island, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine, a stunning architectural wonder that appears to float on water at high tide. As the leading shrine in Japan, it offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere.
Next, stroll/roll through Miyajima's shopping arcade, where you can browse for souvenirs, traditional sweets, and local crafts. Enjoy a delicious Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — a savory pancake layered with noodles, cabbage, and sweet sauce.
Conclude your experience with a relaxed return to the port, reflecting on a day filled with the history, culture, and flavors that make Hiroshima unforgettable.
