There is plenty of time allotted to leisurely see the displays inside the Peace Museum. In the Peace Park, the guide will give explanations such as about the Atomic Bomb Dome Cenotaph, allowing customers to gain a deeper learning experience.
Look forward to seeing wild deer in the untouched abundant nature of World Heritage Miyajima. Take the ropeway up to Mt. Misen, a symbol of Miyajima which can be difficult to visit on a day trip due to time constraints. From the observatory near the last stop, relish the breathtaking scenery of Setouchi and mountains in the background.
