Tour Important Information
Miyajima is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is a very romantic and relaxing place. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views.
you can walk around Miyajima to see Itsukushima shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water, Five story pagoda and Buddist hall.
you can also visit Daishoin temple, one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism. It features a variety of buildings, statues and other religious objects for visitors to admire.
There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the island.
Oyster landed in Hiroshima is very big and thick tasty, and Hiroshima is the number one of landing of oysters in Japan. There are some oyster shops that serve grilled oysters and vinegared fresh oysters to visitors in the Miyajima Island.
Okonomiyaki is the most famous as Hiroshima soul food, cooked with superposition of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg and noodles, which is soba or udon, on thin flour dough spread like crepe.
At low tide, you are able to walk to Otorii Gate but when the tide flows it looks like the shrine is floating on water.
This idea to make the temple look different according to the tide will be only found here in Itsukushima shrine.
The tour may be changed according to the whether condition.

I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima.

“Fantastic tour with Kazumi”
We had a wonderful customised tour with Kazumi. As a group of 7 with kids under 10 and adults she was very kind, friendly and easy to talk to. She customised a tour for us that was perfect to see the sights of Hiroshima as well as Miyajima Island. Our kids warmed to her quickly and we all enjoyed her historical knowledge and she answered all of our many questions about Hiroshima and Japanese culture. Thank you Kazumi for a great day!!

“Fantastic day in Hiroshima with Kazumi”
Kazumi was a fantastic guide. We had a lovely time with her. She was flexible and accommodating in terms of what we wanted to see and do. She was very easy to chat with and very knowledgeable about the past history, the events leading up to the bombing, and subsequent rebuilding of the city. She had many stories to tell of the inpact at an individual level - even how it affected her grandparents. We spent the morning at the museum, Peace Park and the Atonic Dome; then went by ferry across to Miyajima Island where she showed us around the shrine and temple . It was exactly what we wanted, very personal, and Kazumi was great with communication and arrangements leading up to the day. I highly recommend her.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It was so pleasure to meet you all here. Thank you for choosing me as your guide and you were all nice and I appreciated that you shared your stories with me. I hope you are having a good time in the islands now. Good luck with your bike tours. Please send my best regards to your family. Thank you Kazumi

“Amazing experience!!”
Kazumi is truly a wonderful tour guide. My partner and I did a full day tour with her around the Peace Park and Miyajima and thoroughly enjoyed her insights into the attitudes of people living in Hiroshima, during and following the war, and also loved all of the information about religion in Japan that we would never have known if not for this tour!! This tour is great if you want to take your hands off the wheel for a day, and allow Kazumi to show you the sights, stress free. We also found this to be a great option for us as we only had one day in Hiroshima, and this allowed us to get everything done! We highly recommend this tour, and Kazumi’s wonderful guidance and recommendations.
Kazumi M.
