What you can expect

Start your tour by taking the ferry to Miyajima, the island of the gods. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea and the iconic Otorii, Miyajima's symbol, during the ride. Upon arrival in Miyajima, be welcomed by friendly deer.

Stroll along the coast to the Otorii Gate and proceed to Itsukushima Shrine. Learn how the the distinctive architecture of the shrine, constructed during the Heian period (794-1192), is resilient to the tides' ebb and flow.

Visit the museum to learn about the life and culture of Miyajima, and then go for a local lunch made from ingredients from Hiroshima Prefecture. Get ready to chow down on some local Miyajima delicacies such as delicious fresh oysters and fried momiji dumplings.

Next, delve into the rich history and culture cultivated on the small island of Miyajima, experiencing traditional Japanese architecture, gardens, and crafts. Savor the picturesque mountain path and scenery on your way to Daisho-in Temple, the island's oldest with 1,200 years of history.

Uncover the temple's past and the evolution of faith on Miyajima with your guide. Finally, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, immersing yourself in the serene nature and forests of Miyajima, concluding the tour on a souvenir shop street.
