From your hotel in Osaka, transfer to Shin Osaka station and board a bullet train to Hiroshima. Meet your guide and explore the city using public transport, starting at the poignant Peace Memorial Park.

Continue to the Peace Memorial Museum, followed by a visit to the local favourite okonomiyaki for lunch before visiting the historical Shukkeien Garden.
