Meeting Point
In the lobby of your hotel or Hiroshima JR station
A symbol of hope for global peace / Peace Memorial Park & Museum
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a powerful tribute to the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and a symbol of hope for global peace. Located close to the epicenter of the blast, the park is home to several important monuments, including the Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Cenotaph, which holds the names of those who perished.
At the heart of the park is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which offers a moving and educational experience. Through exhibits of artifacts, photographs, and personal stories, the museum details the devastation caused by the atomic bomb and its aftermath, while promoting a message of peace and nuclear disarmament.
The park's serene atmosphere invites both quiet contemplation and remembrance, making it a must-visit for anyone coming to Hiroshima.
Ancient beauty/ Floating Torii Gate and Itsukushima Shrine
The Floating Torii Gate is the iconic symbol of Itsukushima Shrine, located on the sacred island of Miyajima. The torii appears to float on the water during high tide, creating a stunning visual effect, while at low tide, visitors can walk right up to it.
Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over water and is dedicated to Shinto deities. Its elegant wooden structures, connected by boardwalks, are designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the island.
The shrine and torii gate offer a serene and picturesque experience, blending history, spirituality, and nature.
Feel the ancient breeze / Five-storied Pagoda and Senjokaku
The Five-storied Pagoda, built in 1407, is a striking blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles, offering beautiful view of the island.
*The pagoda is currently under renovation and covered by the cloth.
Nearby, Senjokaku or "Pavilion of 1,000 (tatami) Mats" is a spacious, unfinished wooden hall originally intended as a Buddhist library, known for its serene atmosphere and historical significance.
Lunch (Okonomiyaki or something else)
Enjoy local specialties such as Okonomiyaki, oyster, sea eel, curry bread etc.
Buddha's wonderland / Daishoin-Temple or Daiganji-Temple
Daishoin Temple, located at the base of Mt. Misen, is one of the island's most significant Buddhist temples. Founded in 806 by the monk Kukai, it features a serene complex of halls, statues, and pathways. Visitors can explore its intricate stone steps lined with spinning prayer wheels, peaceful meditation halls, and beautiful gardens.
Daiganji Temple on Miyajima is a historic Buddhist temple closely associated with the island’s spiritual heritage and the worship of Benzaiten, the goddess of music, eloquence, and fortune. It has long been a place of prayer for safe voyages and prosperity, especially for people connected to the sea.
Omotesando-Shopping Street
Explore the Omotesando shopping street, the main street of Miyajima, with many souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. On weekends and holidays, there are many stores lined along the street. "Okonomiyaki", "conger eel", "grilled fish cake", and fresh "oyster", etc. Local food will satisfy your stomach for sure. Plus, as a dessert, "Momiji Manju" is a must-taste.

Keiko K.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Like the Filipinos I know, you are all incredibly warm-hearted people, and while guiding you, I truly felt as if I had been welcomed as a member of your family. Thank you so much for that. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday here in Japan, and it would make me especially happy if your time in my hometown of Fukuoka and the Kyushu region becomes a memorable and enjoyable one. I sincerely hope we will meet again someday! Hugs, Keiko

“A Wonderful Day on Miyajima Island”
We had an amazing day on Miyajima thanks to our guide. She climbed the mountain with us, shared the history of shrines and temples, and spoke with a real passion that made everything come alive. She helped us take photos and added thoughtful touches throughout the day that made the experience feel personal and memorable. What stood out most was how much she cared about making the day run smoothly. She went above and beyond to make sure we made our train and back from the island, which took a lot of stress away and let us enjoy every moment. It was a magical experience from start to finish and we are very grateful for her care, knowledge, and kindness.
Keiko K.
Thank you very much for your heartwarming review. I am truly delighted that we were able to climb all the way to the summit of Mt. Misen together, and that I could be present on such a meaningful day for both of you. It was also an unforgettable and precious experience for me as your guide. Thank you so much. I have guided many guests in the past, but not many have made it all the way to the top of Mt. Misen—bravo to both of you! I hope you will visit Hiroshima again someday. Next time, let’s challenge the full hike from the base to the summit! Hugs, Kay

“Hiroshima half-day and Miyajima full day tour wirh Keiko”
We had two absolutely delightful tours with Keiko. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about history and the two Japanese religions, Shinto and Buddhism, which were my particular interests, but she provided us with a wealth of information about anything we wanted to know. Moreover she is very polite, helpful, warm-hearted and can adapt the program very flexibly if necessary. We could not have found a more dedicated guide, thank you so much, Keiko Barbara & Werner
Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. I truly enjoyed spending those two days with both of you. It was wonderful to see how much interest you had in Japanese culture and history—from the beautiful Shukkeien Garden, the children celebrating Shichi-Go-San at Gokoku Shrine, and the history of the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, to the hike up Mt. Misen and the religious philosophies behind our temples and shrines. I also won’t forget the relaxing time we spent together on the café terrace. I’m grateful to have shared such wonderful moments with both of you. Please do come back to Hiroshima again—I’ll be waiting for you with all my heart. Hugs, Kay (Keiko)
