Private Historic and Distillery Chauffeured Tour in Hiroshima
A wonderful day tour experience travelling in the comfort of a private vehicle, with an accredited driver.
This is an in-depth tour of the history of Hiroshima—specifically, the events that led to the end of the Second World War—followed by a delicious local specialty lunch, which is also a show in itself, or your available preference.
**Alt: You are welcome to substitute historic Miyajima the famed shrine island instead of Peace Memorial Park.
Later we enjoy a guided tour and explanation of one of the top whiskey and gin distilleries in Japan, which includes a tasting.
Please be aware that the availability of this tour as a whole depends on the distillery tour calendar availability, and ideally needs to be booked at least 7–10 days in advance.
Time permitting (according to the distillery calendar), we may add a bonus visit to a serenely landscaped garden dotted with waterfalls and monuments.
