1.Hiroshima Local guided Hiking Tour&Open-air Tea Ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 213 reviews · from $109Our pick

Hike Mt. Futaba in Hiroshima: shrines, forest bathing, and an open-air Nodate tea ceremony with city and sea views in 3 hours.

“Micchi! Such a competent, friendly and knowledgable guide! We wanted a break from the usual touring and chose this tour to get away from the city and enjoy a little nature. We so enjoyed every minute of what we saw and did. The climbing was a bit strenuous, but good for us! And, the view at the top is quite fantastic. Don’t want to spoil too much for any readers, but the time in the forest and tea ceremony were quite special because these are things you don’t do on other tours. It felt more personal.”
