Your Experience
This full-day excursion from Tokyo to Hiroshima and Miyajima combines the speed of the Nozomi shinkansen with one of Japan's most profoundly meaningful day itineraries — travelling from the capital to western Japan and back to experience the moving Peace Memorial Park and Museum in Hiroshima and the sacred floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island. The Nozomi shinkansen covers Tokyo to Hiroshima in approximately 90 minutes — bringing this remarkable destination comfortably within reach as a day excursion from the capital.
Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum provide the most humanising and historically comprehensive encounter with the events of August 6, 1945 available anywhere in the world — the preserved A-Bomb Dome, memorial cenotaph, and survivor testimonies creating a profound impression that fundamentally reframes any understanding of modern history. The adjacent Miyajima Island, reached by ferry, offers one of Japan's most celebrated natural and spiritual environments — the iconic vermilion torii gate rising from the tidal shallows of the Seto Inland Sea in a composition that has defined Japan's visual identity internationally for centuries.
All shinkansen reservations, ferry tickets, and attraction guidance are managed by Amigo Tours — making this one of the most efficiently organised ways to experience two of Japan's most significant destinations in a single day from Tokyo.
