For exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima, I recommend a focused three-day plan that balances history, nature and food.
- Day 1 – Miyajima: Train to Miyajimaguchi, ferry across, drop bags, then explore Daishō‑in Temple above Itsukushima Shrine. Finish with sunset views of the giant torii and dinner on the island (okonomiyaki or local oysters/anago).
- Day 2 – Mt Misen + Hiroshima: Hike Mt Misen (Momijidani up, Daishō‑in down) or use the ropeway, then return to Hiroshima. Try Hiroshima‑style okonomiyaki and, if you missed them, oysters or Hiroshima beef.
- Day 3 – Hiroshima city: Peace Memorial Museum, Peace Park, Cenotaph, Children’s Peace Monument, A‑Bomb Dome and hypocenter. If you have time, add tranquil Mitaki‑dera Temple in the afternoon.
Would you like me to adapt this plan to the exact month and time of day you’ll be there?
