What's a Private Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I guided a group visiting from Oceania. At the Peace Memorial Museum, some of the guests read aloud the explanations of most of the exhibits that came into view, and they seemed very keen on learning. The guests also showed a strong interest in the atomic bombing, and I received several questions, which was educational for me as well. At Miyajima, it happened to be low tide, so the guests took off their shoes near the base of the torii gate, walked along the shallows, and relaxed. I was glad to see that they were enjoying themselves. A notable stop on the tour was Miyajima. Miyajima, officially known as Itsukushima, is a small island in Hiroshima Bay famous for the Itsukushima Shrine and its iconic "floating" torii gate, which appears to stand on the water at high tide. The shrine, with its structures built over the sea, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At low tide, visitors can walk out across the sand to the base of the great torii gate up close. The island is also home to friendly wild deer and offers scenic views from Mount Misen, making it one of the most beloved destinations in the region.
