This is a single day that covers the two things most visitors come to Hiroshima for: the Peace Memorial Park and Museum in the city, and Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima island. The operator, HIS, runs it as a guided coach tour lasting seven hours and forty minutes, starting from the Shinkansen ticket gate at Hiroshima Station at 10:00. A guide meets the group holding an HIS board, and everything moves by air-conditioned bus, with the ferry crossing to Miyajima included.
Admission to the Peace Memorial Museum and Itsukushima Shrine is covered, along with an English-speaking guide and an okonomiyaki lunch, the layered savoury pancake Hiroshima is known for. Vegetarian-leaning variations are available if requested at the time of booking, though the standard version contains pork. Earphone guides are handed out for commentary on the move, and a multilingual audio guide option covers the bus portions in many languages for those who bring their own phone and earphones.
Reviewers describe it as well run and time-managed, with guides who share history and personal stories. It is a large-group format, capped at forty travellers, and the day involves a fair amount of walking.
A few practical points shape the day, from the dietary request deadline to the amount of walking involved.
Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems, pregnant travellers, or anyone with serious medical conditions. One reviewer found the okonomiyaki was not served fresh, and another struggled to hear the guide through the earphone equipment. A full refund requires cancellation at least twenty-four hours before the start, and the tour needs both good weather and a minimum number of travellers to run, otherwise a different date or a full refund is offered.

At the Shinkansen ticket gate on the second floor of Hiroshima Station, where the guide waits with an HIS board. Arrive fifteen minutes early, because the bus departs at 10:00 and does not wait for late arrivals. The tour ends back at the same point.
There are three options: the regular okonomiyaki, one without pork but with eggs, and one without pork, fish powder or eggs. You must state allergies or dietary restrictions when booking, as menu changes cannot be made on the day.
It is not wheelchair accessible and not recommended for travellers with back problems, pregnant travellers, or those who struggle with long periods of walking.
Cancel at least twenty-four hours before the start time for a full refund. Within twenty-four hours there is no refund and no changes are accepted. If the operator cancels for poor weather or because the minimum number of travellers is not met, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
Bring your own phone and earphones if you want the multilingual audio guide, which works only on the bus and comes in twenty-one languages. Luggage can be kept in the bus luggage compartment during the tour. Comfortable walking shoes are advisable given the amount of ground covered.
