2. Itsukushima Shrine Torii [09:00] Kayak (Itsukushima-jinja Shrine gate, Houraiiwa, etc.) [11:45] Lunch Break Have you ever wanted to gaze up at the magnificent red shrine gate from the water? Known as the "Island of the Gods," Miyajima itself is considered sacred. The Itsukushima-jinja Shrine was built over the sea to avoid harming the sacred island. In the era of Taira no Kiyomori (ca. 1160s - 1185), worshippers would pass through the sea gate to pray, and sea pilgrimages have been cherished by fishermen and merchants traveling the Seto Inland Sea ever since. One of the highlights of this tour is the unique view of the Itsukushima-jinja Shrine from the sea. Standing tall at approximately 16 meters, the gigantic shrine gate awaits. The low vantage point of a kayak, combined with the absence of engine noise and the presence of only the sound of the waves, enhances the sense of mystique. This is an experience you cannot get from the crowded land. 4 hours
3. Tsutsumigaura Nature Park Camping Site As you paddle further along the eastern coastline, the natural grandeur of Miyajima unfolds. Encounter stunning and mystical landscapes such as the Horai-iwa rock, frequently depicted in old postcards of Miyajima, the sprawling white sands of Tsutsumigaura, and the serene Tsutsumigaura-jinja Shrine nestled among massive rocks. Kayaking eastwards will reveal why Miyajima is called "the island where gods dwell." *Note: Specific spots visited may vary based on participants' stamina and preferences on the day of the tour. 2 hours 30 minutes
4. [15:30] Return to Paddle Park [16:00] Change clothes・Disband 30 minutes
