Hiroshima and Itsukushima Shrine Full-Day Bus Tour from Kyoto

A fabulous day! A great mix of history, culture and scenery!

Reviewed by: Rajesh, 2019/12/24

The Hiroshima and Itsukushima Shrine Full-Day Tour from Kyoto organised by Japan Panoramic Tours was once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide, Yurika, was punctual, pleasant and total professional to the hilt. We visited Hiroshima Memorial and museum, had a great Japanese dish cooked in front of us which was delicious. Thererafter went to nearby Miyajima Island which was picturesque. Unfortunately the famous Torii gate was under renovation, but the temple that was covered was one of our favourites. Loved everything about this tour. Highly recommend. A great mix of history, culture and scenery!

Veltra were extremely helpful and prompt in responding to pre-tour questions. This was our first time using them, and will now always look for tours through them.

Great way to see many of the areas sights in a day!

Reviewed by: Angela , 2019/06/23

Tour was exactly as advertised.

Great mix of tour information, mixed with opportunities for a few minutes to explore on your own at each stop.

I was traveling alone and wanted to see the highlights of Kyoto and Nara in one day.

Tour group size was good.

Nara World Heritage Sites Afternoon Tour from Kyoto

A lovely afternoon in Nara

Reviewed by: Heather, 2019/04/28

We had a lovely afternoon in Nara... the Buddist temple was amazing, one of my highlights while being in Japan... the Shinto temple was also well worth visiting, and the deers in the park made it a fun day... our guide Hajime san gave us an amazing insight into the Japanese culture and some fun videos on the bus... he is a credit to the company - arigato Hajime san



  • Beautiful Buddist temple

  • Sacred deer

Hiroshima and Miyajima

Reviewed by: Anton Pletersek, 2019/04/22

This was our best guided tour ever – guided by Akiko sana. We went on this tour to see the Hiroshima Peace memorial mainly.
We are proud of what she shows you, what she says; we are proud of her emotional way of giving narrative. Yes, she is thoughtful and passionate about her work. This was wonderful holiday in Japan.

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Don't miss, a convenient way to experience Kyoto and Nara

Reviewed by: Christine , 2018/07/01

We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of beautiful Kyoto and the amazing Todaiji Temple, and Nara deer park. The buffet lunch was very good with plenty of choice and many vegetarian options. The guides were both knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of time was allowed at each location.

The tour office at Kyoto station is a bit difficult to find but the staff at Veltra gave us clear instructions and a google link on request. The tour office is at the basement level just opposite the basement entrance to the Avanti building.
Veltra also helped us sort out our voucher by emailing it directly to Sunset tours as we couldn't print it.

Highly recommended!

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Kyoto / Nara

Reviewed by: sarubobo, 2018/06/11

it was a beautiful sunny day, the english speaking guide was nice but hard to understand his english, it will be better when the company provides free wi-fi on the bus like in Tokyo and the Lunch buffet was poorly for this price. Next time will be greater if the company, organise for the Tour Groups separat room with Lunch buffet, look up much better as mixes with others. Lunch time was to short.

We don’t even have where to started, we arrive at the meeting point and was a lady waiting for us to take another taxi for pick up another costumer in another hotel, after that we took another taxi to the station and they drop us on the JR line to take a train to Hiroshima, no other guide with us, after we arrive to the station they make us wait in another hotel for the bus and we almost get behind... the guide lady was under the average, we feel really disappointed

Reviewed by: Anthony, 2017/04/27

Prior to trip very impressed with quick response to my email request to change hotel collection point. Tour itself ran like a Swiss watch, Japanese guide met us as we stepped off the train. Retired school teacher (Amy) spoke perfect English and had a good system to prevent losing people. All excursions should be as thorough. Only improvement would be radio headsets like some of the major companies use. Would have no hesitation in booking through City Discovery again if product was on our list of things to do.

This was a long day but our guide was absolutely delightful and shared many personal and family stories with us that made the day memorable. The tour group was a bit too large and there were some rather demanding and dominating people on the tour which at times detracted from the guides serene and gentle narration and the impressive and moving sights of Miyajima and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.

An interesting tour, actually 2 tours- Kyoto in the morning and Nara in the afternoon. Somewhat limited by time, but went to all the hot-spots, and appreciated being dropped back at the hotel at the end of the tour. Very poor lunch provided. Knowledgeable and pleasant guide,
