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 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

If you decide to hike up to it you will have some nice views oif the town and surround hills. Photos are better from a distance.

I wish we had realised that this was one of the best places to buy our souvenirs and to eat. We are sorry that we did not buy more and stay longer in Miyajima.

I knew before coming that the Toori gate was under renovation but still made the trip and glad I did. The island itself is a fun place to spend a half day or so. There are shrines, Mount Misen and loads of stalls to eat and bit souvenirs. The Boat trip across is short and getting to and from Hiroshima is easy on the train
