Hiroshima and Miyajima make an excellent same-day excursion from Osaka or Kyoto, or a relaxed overnight stay. The day centers on two of Japan’s most meaningful sites: Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima, and the floating torii of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island. An optional round of golf can be added once a course is selected.

Itinerary Details

The standard day trip spends approximately six hours in the Hiroshima and Miyazaki area (Shinkansen travel time from Osaka or Kyoto is additional).

You are met at the railway station by an English-speaking driver. The tour begins with a ferry to Miyazaki Island and Itsukushima Shrine. Time is allowed at the shrine and nearby markets before continuing to central Hiroshima for Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Peace Memorial Museum, and Hiroshima Castle.

At the end of the day you are returned to the railway station.

Overnight Option

An overnight stay in Hiroshima allows a slower pace, more time at the museum and park, and an evening in the city.

    • We arrange golf only as part of a complete Japan tour that includes hotels and ground arrangements. There are no standalone tee times.

    • Golf Digest Japan Tour Center is our partner for requesting tee times inside that package.

    • Tee times are typically confirmed 2 to 3 months in advance. Alternate courses may be used for availability, tournaments, or maintenance.

    • Select this itinerary or ask us to customize it.

    • Japanese golf is a full-day club visit: check-in, the round, often a sit-down lunch between nines on Honshu, then checkout. Hokkaido courses more often play through without a mid-round meal.

    • A sport jacket is usually required entering and leaving the clubhouse. Caddies are typical for visitors. Tipping is not customary; if you give one, it is not included in the tour.

    • Many clubs have a bath or onsen after play.
