Itinerary

Tourist attractions: Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park

The Atomic Bomb Dome is a World Heritage Site that conveys to the world the horrors of nuclear weapons. View it from the opposite bank of the Motoyasu River and pay your respects at the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims located within the lush Peace Memorial Park. The park is well paved with few steps, making it easy to stroll around even in a wheelchair. It will be a memorable moment as you offer prayers for peace in the silence.

Tourist spot: Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine in Aki

Miyajima is one of Japan's three most scenic spots. Itsukushima Shrine, with its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style main hall built over the sea, is truly a spectacular sight. The shrine is becoming increasingly barrier-free, so even those in wheelchairs can pass through the corridors of this national treasure and worship there. After worshiping, you can enjoy the aroma of the famous momiji manju and grilled oysters in the bustling Omotesando shopping district, or interact with the adorable deer, another attraction unique to Miyajima.
