Overview

Experience the perfect blend of Miyajima's spiritual essence and natural beauty through carefully curated stops that reveal the island's hidden stories. Unlike standard tours, we take you beyond the famous torii gate to discover sacred flames burning for over 1200 years, secret mountain trails, and local culinary traditions. Our thoughtfully paced itinerary allows you to fully immerse yourself in each location, from the floating Itsukushima Shrine to the serene Momijidani Park, while our knowledgeable guide share fascinating insights that bring each site to life.
Journey through all of Miyajima's highlights in one seamless experience - from sea level to mountain top views, ancient temples to local treats. Whether you're capturing the perfect photo, discovering your fortune, sampling local delicacies (with vegetarian options), or soaring above the primeval forest, each moment is designed to create lasting memories of Japan's sacred island.

Activity itinerary

Miyajima Ferry Terminal
  • 30m
After a short train journey, arrive at the bustling Miyajima Ferry Terminal, your gateway to the sacred island. Begin your adventure with an enlightening stop at the Miyajima Island Visiting Centre, where you'll uncover the fascinating history and cultural symbols of both Hatsukaichi city and Miyajima Island. Interactive displays and informative exhibits provide the perfect introduction to your island experience. A scenic 5-minute ferry ride across the calm waters will then transport you to the mystical shores of Miyajima.
Miyajima
  • 30m
The Floating Torii Gate Standing majestically in the sea, Miyajima's iconic vermillion torii gate creates one of Japan's most breathtaking photo opportunities. This grand gateway, which appears to float on water during high tide, has served as the sacred entrance to Itsukushima Shrine for centuries, welcoming countless pilgrims who arrived by boat. Capture stunning photos of this UNESCO World Heritage site while your guide shares fascinating stories about its spiritual significance and the ancient pilgrimage routes through the Seto Inland Sea.
Itsukushima Jinja
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Step into the mesmerising Itsukushima Shrine, a unique architectural marvel built over water that seems to float on the sea at high tide. This UNESCO World Heritage site holds profound significance as one of Japan's most sacred places, where ancient pilgrims would worship without setting foot on the holy island ground. Discover the spiritual home of the three sea deities - daughters of the mighty Susanoo - and try your luck with a traditional Omikuji fortune slip near Japan's only floating Noh theatre stage. Let the shrine's vermillion corridors and centuries-old atmosphere transport you back to a time when this served as a gateway between the earthly and divine realms.
Daishoin Temple
  • 30m
Nestled at the base of sacred Mount Misen, the enchanting Daishō-in Temple complex stands as a testament to centuries of Shingon Buddhist tradition, established by the revered monk Kūkai. Wander through this spiritual haven to discover its unique treasures, including the charming Ojizō-san garden with its countless statues, a magnificent golden reclining Buddha, and the atmospheric cave that commemorates Kūkai's famous Shikoku pilgrimage route. Experience the peaceful atmosphere of this active monastery as you climb its steps, each turn revealing new wonders of Japanese Buddhist architecture and artistry.
Momijidani Park
  • 30m
Take a gentle stroll through the enchanting Momijidani Park, where nature displays its seasonal splendour with graceful maple trees, bubbling streams, and traditional red bridges dotting the landscape. In spring, delicate cherry blossoms paint the scene in soft pink hues, while autumn transforms the park into a blazing canvas of red and gold maple leaves. Encounter Miyajima's friendly deer as you wander through this accessible park, where refreshing waterfalls and tranquil pathways create the perfect setting for a peaceful nature break.
Mt. Misen
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Mt. Misen Ropeway Soar into the sky aboard the Mt. Misen Ropeway, where a spectacular aerial journey awaits as you ascend to the sacred summit. Glide over Miyajima's pristine primeval forest in a comfortable gondola while taking in breathtaking 360-degree views of the Seto Inland Sea and its scattered islands. This 20-minute journey through the clouds offers unparalleled photo opportunities and serves as the perfect introduction to Mt. Misen's spiritual heights.
Mount Misen Obsevatory
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Mt. Misen Summit & Reikado Pavilion From the highest point of Miyajima, the Shishiwa observation deck offers one of Japan's most celebrated scenic views, where the scattered islands of the Seto Inland Sea create a mesmerising panorama. Take a short hike to the historic Reikado Pavilion to witness the eternal flame that has burned continuously for over 1,200 years, first lit by the revered monk Kukai and later used to ignite the Flame of Peace in Hiroshima. Experience the profound spiritual energy of this sacred peak while enjoying sweeping views that stretch across the shimmering sea, explaining why this vista has long been considered one of Japan's three most beautiful landscapes.
Five Storied Pagoda
  • 30m
Standing gracefully against the backdrop of Mt. Misen, the magnificent Five-Storied Pagoda has been an enduring symbol of Miyajima since its construction in 1407. This striking vermillion structure rises elegantly in front of the Senjokaku (1000-mat pavilion), creating one of the island's most photogenic scenes. Marvel at the pagoda's classic Buddhist architecture as your guide shares stories about its historical significance and the expert craftsmanship that has allowed it to stand proudly for over six centuries.
Miyajima Omotesandō Shopping Street
  • 1h
Wander through the historic Omotesando Shopping Street, where centuries-old shops and traditional architecture transport you to Japan's merchant past. This lively thoroughfare offers a delightful array of local specialities, from succulent Miyajima oysters to savoury Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki, and the island's famous maple-leaf shaped Momijimanju sweet cakes. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as you explore charming souvenir shops, traditional craft stores, and welcoming restaurants that have been serving visitors for generations.
