Enjoy ample free time to explore and taste local specialties for lunch, such as grilled oysters or sweet momiji manju. Afterward, return to Hiroshima for a moving and insightful guided walking tour of the Peace Memorial Park and the historic Atomic Bomb Dome. Relax on the comfortable coach bus and evening Bullet Train back to Osaka, with all major transportation and shrine entries smoothly arranged.
