Overview

Located only a short ferry ride away from the mainland, Itsukushima, popularly known as Miyajima, is a breathtaking island which has long been regarded as one of the three most scenic spots of Japan. While the island itself is fairly small, it is brimming with otherworldly scenic spots, and a relaxing atmosphere which is nearly second to none. On this full-day tour of the island, appreciate all the different things that Miyajima has to offer, from its beautiful shrines and temples to its abundant nature. Gain a better understanding of Japanese religion by visiting the Senjokaku Pavilion, Itsukushima Shrine, and Daisho-in temple. Admire the iconic “floating” O-torii gate during both high and low tide. Take in the beauty of the entire island on the ropeway to the top of Mt. Misen and the hike to the summit. Enjoy local delicacies and create wonderful memories as you stroll along the streets of this beautiful island.

Itinerary

  • Senjokaku

    This tour will begin at Hiroshima Station at 9:00 AM. Your guide will meet you by the Shinkansen Gates under the Tourist Information sign. Your guide will lead you through the train and ferry ride necessary to reach Miyajima. As you travel, the guide will provide you with some context and information about the island. After arriving at the pier, we will walk to the first destination, Senjokaku Pavilion. This pavilion is actually a shrine whose construction was never completed and still remains unfinished to this day. This shrine is unique in its spaciousness and lack of proper entrances or exits, unintentionally creating a building in which beautiful views are accessible from all sides. Your tour guide will provide an explanation of the history and different elements found within the shrine. You will also have the opportunity to relax and take in the beautiful scenery of the island.

    2 hours

  • Itsukushima Shrine

    Next, you will make your way to Itsukushima Shrine. Your guide will provide insights about Shintoism (Japan’s indigenous religion) and the history of the shrine. As you make your way through the temple, observe the different worship halls, the unique architecture of the “floating shrine,” and the iconic O-torii gate located in the Seto Inland Sea. Your guide will then lead you on a walk to the Daisho-in temple, a prestigious Shingon Buddhist temple located not too far from Itsukushima Shrine. Throughout the temple grounds you will be able to observe a myriad of Buddhist figures, with different statues greeting you anywhere you go. Multiple halls are also located throughout the temple grounds, but none is as stunning and breathtaking as the Daishi Hall, with its 88 statues representing the Shikoku Pilgrimage of 88 temples. The room is lit by golden lanterns which hang from the ceiling, creating a stunning and unique scenery.

    2 hours

  • Miyajima Ropeway

    The next stop on the itinerary will be Omotesando Shopping Street, lined with multiple shops and restaurants. Here, you will enjoy around two hours of free time in which you will be able to have lunch and purchase souvenirs or other goods. This might also be a good time to get some good pictures of the many deer around the island or take a short stroll along the seaside! The last main destination of the tour is Mount Misen, the highest point of Miyajima. Together with your guide, you will ride the Miyajima Ropeway all the way to the top of the mountain. Inside the cabin of the ropeway, you will be able to enjoy marvelous aerial views of the island.

    2 hours

  • Mt. Misen

    Once at the top, you will have the option of staying behind at the Shishiiwa Observatory next to the ropeway station or making the trek to the Mt. Misen Observatory at the summit. Your guide will accompany you on this hike, highlighting the different landscapes, natural formations, and multiple halls. This hike is a steep and arduous walk towards the summit, but the magnificent view from the top with no obstructions whatsoever is most certainly worth it. Your guide will allow for plenty of breaks along the way and there will always be an opportunity to turn back and wait at the ropeway station while others complete the hike. In the end you will be given a short period of free time to roam around before heading back to Hiroshima Station
