Hiroshima - Day 7

Departs in the morning (12 hours) - $549 USD

Destroyed by an atomic bomb dropped by American forces in 1945 to end World War II, Hiroshima has since rebuilt itself into a revitalized, modern metropolis. This full-day excursion to the historic city offers countless moving reminders of that fateful day. Drive along tree-lined boulevards to Peace Memorial Park at the city’s center. Here, you’ll visit the A-Bomb Dome, the remains of a building that partially survived the atomic blast.

Afterward, pay a visit to Miyajima, a beautiful island in the Seto Inland Sea.
