Two stories of Hiroshima, curated by your concierges.
Our most recommended three-day, two-night journey.
Iwaso, Miyajima
Begin within the traditions of Miyajima, then carry their quiet resonance across the water. For your second night, we suggest accommodations to suit your preferences and availability—either Sekitei, where enduring Japanese beauty is expressed through its garden, or SIMOSE ART GARDEN VILLA, where contemporary art meets the Setouchi.
THE VALUE OF THIS JOURNEY
Private travel, restorative time and culture—woven into one story.
This is more than a collection of places. From a private welcome and unhurried transfers to restorative time on Miyajima and an encounter with Japanese culture, every part of the three-day journey is shaped as one seamless experience around you.

01 · PRIVATE ARRIVAL
Your dedicated vehicle, from the very beginning.
We welcome you at your hotel or station and carry you quietly onward with your luggage. There is no need to arrange transport at every stop. A dedicated driver-concierge who understands the full itinerary supports the flow of all three days.
Iwaso, Miyajima
02 · RESTORATIVE STAY
Let the journey’s fatigue dissolve into the view.
Iwaso’s spacious public bath offers something uncommon on Miyajima: a hot spring embraced by the island’s scenery. Linger over the view and allow the day’s tiredness to ease away at an unhurried pace.
Okeiko Japan
03 · CULTURE FROM WITHIN
Step inside Japanese culture—not simply beside it.
Wear kimono and give your attention to tea ceremony and calligraphy. More than a photograph, this is time to experience the gestures, stillness and sensibility of Japanese culture, thoughtfully arranged as an essential chapter of the journey.
Private transport, required English support, cultural experiences, and two nights of accommodation and dining are not assembled as separate bookings. They are composed—down to the pace of each day—as one Signature Journey.
The Night & Morning of Miyajima
Moments found only by staying on the island.
After the day visitors have left, Miyajima returns to its natural stillness. Look up at the Great Torii from the night sea, then wake early to walk through Itsukushima Shrine and silent streets before the island begins to stir. The night and morning become one unbroken story—an experience a daytime visit cannot reveal.
Great Torii, Itsukushima Shrine — Miyajima
20:00 · NIGHT CRUISE
Look up at the Great Torii from the night sea.
After dinner, set out onto the quiet water. The vermilion gate emerges from the darkness while its light moves gently across the surface. As the boat draws closer, its scale and sacred presence feel entirely different from anything seen by day.
Because you are staying on the island, there is no need to hurry for the last ferry. The day closes with a rare experience of quiet wonder.
Itsukushima Shrine — Miyajima
06:00 · QUIET MORNING
Itsukushima Shrine before anyone arrives.
Walk through Miyajima as it wakes. Shopfronts remain closed and the approach is almost empty. There are only the sound of the water, birdsong and your own footsteps along the quiet streets.
With Mount Misen held in mist, Itsukushima Shrine stands in profound stillness. Before the crowds return, quietly encounter the sacred atmosphere the island has protected for centuries.

JOURNEY 01
Japanese Culture × Sekitei
From Japanese culture to a garden retreat.
Carry the lingering stillness of Miyajima’s culture and prayer with you to Sekitei. Seasonal light moves softly through the garden overlooking the island; the hot spring loosens the body and mind before kaiseki and wines collected by the host bring depth to the evening. Later, beyond a darkened path, Bonbondo waits quietly apart. This is a journey in which Japanese beauty is not simply observed, but slowly felt around you.
Sekitei
Seasonal light shifts quietly across the garden overlooking Miyajima. With every step, the mind gently begins to unwind.
Sekitei
Koi gather and stir the water as you stand at the pond with food in hand—a tender, unhurried pleasure that feels almost timeless.
Bonbondo at Sekitei
After dinner and a quiet pause, follow a darkened path to the secluded Bonbondo. The anticipation of reaching it is part of the night. Inside, in a dim space embraced by great stones, bring a glass of your favourite wine or spirit and listen closely to the music—a secret pleasure hidden away for those who make the journey.
DAY 1 · MIYAJIMA
Miyajima after dark and before dawn
After Japanese cultural experiences, stay on Miyajima. Cruise to the Great Torii after dinner, then walk through Itsukushima Shrine and silent streets before the island wakes.
DAY 2 · SEKITEI
From prayer to Japanese beauty
After breakfast, receive a formal prayer in the main sanctuary of Itsukushima Shrine. Take time for lunch and a relaxed transfer before checking in at Sekitei at 3 pm to enjoy its garden, hot spring, kaiseki cuisine and wines collected by the host.
DAY 3 · DEPARTURE
A quiet garden morning
Enjoy a quiet morning in the hot spring and garden before your private transfer to Hiroshima Station, Hiroshima Airport or your onward destination.
Recommended for guests who wish to savour Japanese aesthetics, hot springs, gardens and the quiet of an unhurried evening.
JOURNEY 02
Japanese Culture × SIMOSE
From Japanese tradition to the contemporary Setouchi.
After encountering the prayers and beauty carried through generations on Miyajima, the journey turns toward the contemporary Setouchi. Wander through a museum that seems to float between sea and sky, then settle into a villa that is itself a work of architecture. As the evening light slowly changes, savour French cuisine shaped by the gifts of the region. Tradition and modernity become one story in the light of the Setouchi.
SIMOSE Art Museum
Reflecting sea and sky, the museum appears to float upon the water. Walk between art and architecture in the soft light of the Setouchi.
SIMOSE French Restaurant
The lingering colours of sunset continue at the table, where the gifts of the Setouchi are expressed in each delicate French course.
SIMOSE ART GARDEN VILLA
Spend the night within a work of architecture, held by the stillness of the shore. Even the view beyond the window becomes part of the room.
DAY 1 · MIYAJIMA
