The famous shrine built on stilts with its torii gate set in the sea.

Was such an experience visiting this shrine in Miyajima...walking through the path and an old gate and the sight of the floating Tori gate in the sea and the temple itself on stilts...to beat the high tides.

Scenic site that includes the Itsukushima Shrine, Otorii Gate and visit to Mt. Misen.
Reviewed By iluv2eatntravel - San Diego, United States
It is nearly impossible to humanly describe the magnitude of what fascinating Miyajima island can offer - one has to experience it first hand. Definitely should be at the top of the list of any visit to Hiroshima. Please plan ahead as you would need a minimum of at least half a day as it should be enjoyed in a unhurried manner. It just seems that time slowed down on the island. If you can, go early and stay late. The island itself is amazingly explorable. Wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes. The buildings, especially the Itsukushima Shine with its gigantic ‘floating’ torii gate and nearby temples and pagodas have beautiful architectures that blends into the natural surroundings of sea, lush forests, and the misty Mount Misen. Wild and friendly deers roam its street freely. The residents of Miyajima were super friendly. Miyajima’s quaint town is filled with rustic buildings of shops and restaurants. Seafood served in the restaurants were delicious especially the grilled oysters freshly harvested in local waters. There are also some very scenic (potentially challenging) hiking trails up Mt Misen. If time is of the essence, and you are not able to hike the entire elevation of Mt Misen, take the ropeway up to near the top and then hike the rest of the way to the summit for some spell binding views at 1755 feet.

Great little ferry and of course “free” with Japan Rail Pass which is recommended for anyone travelling to Japan.
8. Itsukushima Shrine Torii

What pops into people's mind when one thinks of the country Japan? Mt Fuji, Hot Spring, Kimono, the list goes on and on, and I bet a lot of people will think of Japanese Torii Gates, the beautiful architectures commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine. If you like Torii and you are planning to go to Hiroshima, don't ever miss this magnificent Torii in the sea! On the island Miyajima, there is this famous Itsukushima Shrine with an enormous Torii in the sea, and if you stay long enough and time it right, you can approach it when the tide goes out. It's currently under renovation though

Located in miyajima island, this is a lovely trek where you can enjoy after seeing the shrine (which is under renovation). The area is hilly but is reasonable quiet and quaint. This is part of the trail if you decide to go up the ropeway (if you choose to walk and not taking the bus). Once you are done with the hill, you can use the small paths to go back to the main part of the island, gives you quite a nice feel of the island as it is a small neighborhood.
10. Miyajima Public Aquarium

I found the Miyajima Aquarium to be a great way to spend a couple of hours. It is a little ways from the ferry terminal but there are signs guided you to its location. Like most aquariums, it is on the pricier side, but I understand why, the upkeep for aquariums is not cheap. This aquarium is nicely set up and has a lot of local species. I really liked the clam displays and the giant salamander. They have a massive sea lion here, I only saw him from below so I hope he has a lot more room outside. The aquarium is great for small kids and families as well as adults like me. They have one large tank with sharks, rays, and some other larger fish species. Overall, I recommend coming to the Miyajima Aquarium at least once especially if you live in the area, I really enjoyed it!
