Description
Meet your local English-speaking guide in Hiroshima and let them handle all the logistics, ferry and shrine tickets, so you can focus on the magic of Japan’s “Island of the Gods.”
Cross the Seto Inland Sea, greet the free-roaming deer, and learn how tides transform the famous vermilion torii: floating at high tide, walkable at low tide (your guide will check the tide forecast and aim for the best photo window).
Explore the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, Omotesando shopping street, and the tranquil Daisho-in Temple. Along the way, enjoy a bite of freshly prepared Hiroshima oyster (grilled when in season) and a sweet momiji manju maple-leaf cake—local flavors beloved by islanders.
Your guide snaps photos and shares them after the tour. Return to Hiroshima with insider tips for the rest of your trip.

Customized insight about Miyajima Island
The island has so much to see it would be impossible to comprehend it without a personal tour guide. Kaku, our guide, took the time to ask us questions about what we may be interested in. So our tour was customized and not just a cookie cutter. He pointed out places of interest and explained to us why they were important, showed us great places to take photos, and even offered us insight into foods that are delicacies on the island.
I absolutely recommend this tour and if you can get.Kaku he would be a wonderful guide to show you around

A great tour
We had a great time on this tour despite the 90 degree weather. Kaku, our tour guide, was very friendly and informative. He took us to places we would not have gone on our own.
