3.Hiroshima & Miyajima 1 Day Bus Tour with Bullet Train Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 105 reviews · from $270

Review of the Hiroshima and Miyajima day tour from Osaka, with Shinkansen tickets, Peace Museum, ferry, shrine, bus, and okonomiyaki lunch.

“This day tour was amazing. Being able to walk the area directly underneath the air burst was interesting. We were also able to see the museum but I caution that it can be crowded and the set up can feel rushed. After that we spent the afternoon seeing the sights on a small island. Takane our guide provided great information along the way.”
