Transport guide between Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima

The must-visit spots in Hiroshima are the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Memorial Park and Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, the most people say.

For first-time visitors, here we introduce how to get around; three major ways by using public transportations.

1. No transfers! Go via river and sea.
