Beschrijving
Explore the sacred island of Miyajima on a guided walking tour from Hiroshima. Visit the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, see the Great Torii Gate, and discover hidden gems.
Meet your guide at the Miyajimaguchi Ferry Terminal and board the ferry to Miyajima Island. Enjoy a short 10-minute ride across the Seto Inland Sea, with views of the island and the iconic red torii gate rising from the water.
Upon arrival, be greeted by the island’s friendly wild deer. Stroll along the coastline, taking in the historic stone lanterns and the sacred atmosphere of the island. Your guide will share tips on how to take great photos with the deer.
Next, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Itsukushima Shrine. Learn about the shrine’s origins, its unique location over the water, and the significance of Shinto in Japanese culture. Depending on the tide, the shrine and torii gate offer different, mystical views. Your guide will help you find the best angles for photos.
After visiting the shrine, head to the bustling Omotesando Shopping Street. Watch how the famous momiji manju (maple leaf-shaped cakes) are made, and enjoy the aroma of grilled oysters as you sample local delicacies. Discover traditional crafts, including the world’s largest rice scoop.
In the final part of the tour, leave the main tourist route to explore the quiet, historic streets and hidden gems of Miyajima. Visit the beautiful Momijidani Park or the scenic coastline, and capture the island’s charm with your camera.
