Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Itsukushima Shrine, 1-1 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi 739-0588 Hiroshima Prefecture

Established in the 6th century, this shrine is one of Japan's finest, and is famous for its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style structure (architecture representative of a nobles' residence in the Heian period). The contrast of the green of Mount Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, 1-2 Nakajima-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima 730-0811 Hiroshima Prefecture

This large-scale park was established in 1949 after the Pacific War ended, and is visited by countless visitors as a symbol of peace. The museum within the park is an Important Cultural Property of Japan, and was built to remind future generations of the terror wrought by atomic bombs.

Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes

Pass By: Atomic Bomb Dome, 1-10 Otemachi Naka-ku, Hiroshima 730-0051 Hiroshima Prefecture

The Atomic Bomb Dome is a symbol of the disastrous atomic bombing during WWII, the first atomic bombs used in human history, and has been preserved as it was to promote peace and elimination of atomic weapons around the world.

The tour was for Hiroshima and Miyajima. We first went to Muyajima and given far too much spare time, leaving no time for Hiroshima which was our priority and wanted to see at a slow pace. In the Hiroshima museum we were left with under 40 minutes which was more than inadequate. We could not read the captions or see the audio visual. I have classified the tour as poor only as the guide was good. Otherwise the tour was not one I would commend.

We highly recommend the one day Miyajima & Hiroshima tour run by Sunrise tours, particularly if you have the perfect guide, which we did. Our guide, a former ANA, hostess was not only knowledgeable about the history around us, but, during the drive to & from the ferry port, kept us entertained with interesting information about Japanese life & culture. The whole day ran very smoothly. This would not have been the case if we'd attempted to do the same on our own!

Guide was knowledgeable but it was hard to hear her and she did not really give clear instructions. No audio for museum

Best tour! Miyajima was beautiful! Our tour guide was very cheerful and informative and from Hiroshima, so very real. The peace museum was surreal and heartfelt. Such a beautiful tribute to such a tragic event.

Lovely tour, the island is beautiful and our tour guide was very informative. Just watch out for the biting deer. Also the museum of Hiroshima bomb was very moving of feelings as to what these people went through.
