The Ultimate Hiroshima Aerial Expedition

Embark on a streamlined journey across Japan as you fly from Tokyo to Hiroshima for a comprehensive day of history and culture. While the bullet train is famous, traveling by air offers a unique perspective of Mt. Fuji and significantly cuts down travel time in the seat, allowing you to maximize your exploration on the ground. This curated experience handles all the complex logistics—flights, airport transfers, and ferries—whisking you from the bustle of the capital to the serene waters of the Seto Inland Sea. You'll stand before the poignant Atomic Bomb Dome, ring the Peace Bell, and marvel at the floating Torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, all before returning to Tokyo in time for a late dinner.

Long but Worth It

It is a long day, but the flight is fast. Hiroshima is a must-see. I wish we had 30 more minutes in the museum, but the schedule is tight.

We've done the Shinkansen before, but the flight was a fun change. Great views and very comfortable. The transfer to Miyajima was easy.
