Price
Hiroshima Station/Hotel
The journey begins from Hiroshima Station or your hotel. Please indicate where you would like to be picked up.
Ferry to Miyajima
We will depart Hiroshima city and head to Miyajimaguchi, the ferry port for Miyajima, known as the “Island of the Gods”. The island is not connected to the mainland, so you will take a ferry to the island. As the ferry approaches the island, you will likely spot the large, red Otorii gate that appears to be floating on the water. Please enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island and the gate as you head for the island.
Otorii Gate & Friendly Deer
On Miyajima Island, you may witness the local deer walking around in town and in the mountains. They are very cute but keep an eye on your belongings… You will get a good look at the 800-year old Otorii gate. During low tide, you are even able to walk out onto the river bed and get close to the gate.
Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima Shrine is a national treasure and world heritage site. You can walk through the beautiful vermillion building and experience its 1400 years of history. Please enjoy the view of the Seto Inland Sea from the corridors floating above the water.
Shopping and Lunch
Omotesando Street has a variety of souvenir shops and restaurants. The exciting street is filled with several Miyajima specialties such as conger eel rice, grilled oysters, and momiji manju sweets!
Hiroshima Station/Hotel
We will take the ferry back to the mainland and bring you safely back to your hotel or Hiroshima Station.
