In the years just following the atomic bomb blast on August 6, 1945, scientists doubted if Hiroshima could ever live again. Yet modern Hiroshima rose like a phoenix from its own ashes, and less than five decades since its obliteration, it is a vibrant city with a population of one million and growing. Today choose between two optional half-day excursions. Join a driving tour to the highlights of the area, during which you can expect to see Hiroshima Castle, the poignant Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and its powerful museum, and Shukkeien Garden. Alternatively travel by coach following a scenic route to Miyajima-Guchi. From here board the local ferry for a 10-minute cruise to the lovely island of Miyajima. This picturesque island, considered one of Japan's most scenic destinations, is the location of the Itsukushima Shrine and its famous large red torii gate that rises up out of the ocean. The Shinto shrine was established in 593, the first year of the reign of Empress Suiko and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
