We are facility to enjoy Japanese culture at old zen temple in Miyajima, where you'll also find a beautiful Japanese garden that changes its colors seasonally. There's no charge for viewing the garden so feel free to walk through the gate. Come and enjoy with us!

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.

The gondola is still not working (should be back working tomorrow), so we walked up. The posted sign said 90 minutes, but this 62 year old in good shape make it in one hour. The hike is 98% stairs, so no strollers! Bring water if you hike, though you can buy drinks at a machine by the buildings just below the top. The Lookout on top does close at 4pm, so make sure to arrive earlier since you will miss the best views if you can’t go up the Lookout.

Scenic site that includes the Itsukushima Shrine, Otorii Gate and visit to Mt. Misen.
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.

What I like about Japanese religion and its places of worship is that they treat them serious. In terms of cleanliness, architectural beauty and uniqueness of style and craftsmanship are they really wondrous sights to behold and therefore always worth a visit. Then again they don't seem to dogmatic about it and don't try to convert you every step along the way. Same goes for Daishoin temple, which was a spectacular sight in fall colors and, by the way, made for some of our best photos taken during our Japan trip. Absolute pleasure this place!

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

Miyajima is a beautiful island. Hihgly recommend riding the ropeway/cable car up for stunning views of the mainland and other islands.

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.
