Departing from Osaka, enjoy a 3-day, 2-night exclusive private tour. Visit Himeji, Kurashiki, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Miyajima in one go. From the World Heritage site Himeji Castle, the Shirakabeso old streets of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, and Okayama Korakuen Garden, to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and finally, take a ferry to Miyajima to admire Itsukushima Shrine and the floating O-torii gate.
The route follows a logical progression: Osaka → Himeji → Kurashiki → Okayama → Hiroshima → Miyajima → Osaka, with the first night in Okayama and the second night in Hiroshima to minimize long-distance daily travel. This tour is perfect for families, parents with children, multi-generational groups, friends, and large groups. The product provides a clear recommended itinerary; after booking, you may request adjustments within the daily service hours and route constraints. Final arrangements will be confirmed based on daily driving time, traffic conditions, attraction distances, and vehicle operational requirements.
【In-depth Miyajima Stay】
Miyajima is not just for a quick photo spot. On the 3rd day, approximately 4 hours are reserved for free exploration, allowing travelers to leisurely visit Itsukushima Shrine, the floating O-torii gate, and the Omotesando Shopping Street, with time to enjoy local delicacies like oysters and conger eel rice. In principle, the vehicle will drop you off at the Miyajima-guchi area, from where you will take a ferry to Miyajima. Sightseeing on the island is primarily on foot, and the vehicle will not accompany you onto the island.
【Driver Service Information】
This product is a private tour service, not a professional guided tour. The driver is primarily responsible for safe driving, hotel pick-up/drop-off, transportation between attractions, and basic itinerary assistance; they will not accompany travelers into attractions for professional commentary. Depending on the selected plan/actual scheduling, a Chinese or Japanese-speaking driver will be arranged. English proficiency is limited to basic communication, and translation tools may be used if necessary. If you require professional commentary throughout the attractions, please choose or inquire about a tour guide service separately.
【Accommodation Arrangements】
This product does not include accommodation costs. Recommended cities for stay: 1st night in Okayama city center, 2nd night in Hiroshima city center. Please book your own hotels. After the order is confirmed, please provide the full hotel name and address to facilitate pick-up and drop-off arrangements.
【Vehicle Usage Time and Itinerary Adjustment Rules】
This product uses a 'Recommended Optimal Route + Reasonable Flexible Adjustments' approach. Travelers may adjust the time spent at attractions, lunch locations, the order of some attractions, remove attractions, or swap some attractions within reasonable limits, provided time and route conditions allow. A private tour does not mean unlimited additions of attractions or extended hours. All adjustments must consider daily service hours, driving distance, traffic, business hours, ferry schedules, parking conditions, and safe driving regulations. DAY 1 and DAY 2 each include up to 10 hours of service, and DAY 3 includes up to 12 hours of service. If service hours are exceeded due to the traveler's request to add attractions, travel to areas outside the original itinerary, or significantly extended time for dining, shopping, or sightseeing, additional overtime fees may apply.

【Important Notes】
- The product price is calculated per vehicle/per group, not per person.
- Accommodation must be booked by the traveler.
- The actual vehicle model depends on the plan, number of passengers, amount of luggage, and vehicle availability. The number of seats does not guarantee that the same number of large suitcases can be carried. Please inform us in advance if you have a large amount of luggage.
- For 19-seater vehicles (maximum 18 passengers), pick-up and drop-off locations may be adjusted due to parking and road restrictions for large vehicles.
- Attraction business hours, closing days, ferry schedules, and ticket prices are subject to change. The view of the floating O-torii gate on Miyajima is affected by tides.
- In case of severe weather, traffic jams, road closures, ferry adjustments, or crowded attractions, the actual visiting order and stay duration may be adjusted.
- If a child safety seat is required, please request it in advance.
- Entrance fees, ferry tickets, and taxes are for reference only. Actual prices are subject to the announcements made by each facility and operator on the day of travel.
- The final passenger capacity must be confirmed based on the amount of luggage, child safety seats, and the actual vehicle configuration. For multi-day trips, the vehicle needs to carry luggage continuously; if the luggage volume exceeds the safe loading capacity of the selected vehicle model, an upgrade will be required.
- If the accommodation location is significantly off the standard route, such as Okayama city center/Hiroshima city center, please confirm before booking.
