Route: Boat from Miyajimaguchi to the oyster rafts, passing Itsukushima Shrine's torii from the water
Tip: Book at least three days ahead for the 7:00 landing course; the 11:00 and 14:00 raft cruises accept same-day sign-ups at the pier.
Address: 1-2-6 Miyajimaguchi-nishi, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima
Attractive Japan's guided oyster programme starts at the Shimada Suisan pier, tours the rafts with the farmers who work them, grills the fresh landing, then sits you down to a chef-prepared oyster course.
Tip: Departures are on request with dates confirmed after booking, so ask early; rough seas or typhoon weather can cancel the raft visit at short notice.
byFood's downtown walk covers four food stops with an English-speaking guide, working through Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and local sweets while browsing the arcades for snacks and souvenirs.
Tip: byFood donates ten meals for every guest who joins this experience; check current dates on the experience page before planning an evening around it.
MagicalTrip's Hiroshima bar-hopping tour walks the Nagarekawa district in the evening, opening with okonomiyaki cooked to order and moving on to two local izakaya.

Arigato Travel's evening walk crosses central Hiroshima in four food stops, pairing Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with regional sake and ending on something sweet, while a local guide narrates the city.
Tip: Departures run Thursday to Tuesday and children pay half; the route passes the arcades near the Peace Park, so arrive early and walk the memorial first.
