Overview of your Miyajima tour:

The sacred island of Miyajima is naturally and culturally beautiful with a rich history. This is a 5-6 hour tour of Miyajima island (Itsukushima UNESCO) that takes in the key sights and important themes of peace, history, resilience, culture, traditions, heritage, locally-made products and natural beauty. We can finish this tour in 4 hours on the island but give an extra hour or two if you want to include transportation to-from the city center. Time also depending on our walking pace, level of interest and stops. The fee for this tour covers the guiding and translation during the tour as well as my own transportation, entry and food or drink costs. Guests should plan to cover their own travel, entry fees and transportation costs- please plan to have 2,000 yen per person (in cash) to cover the basic tour expenses for donations, entry and travel. Plan for an additional 3,000 yen per person to cover any food and drink. If you have the JR pass - it can cover the JR train and ferry

Your Miyajima tour itinerary

+ Meet at your hotel (or Hiroshima station) + Travel to (or meet guest at hotel on) the island of Miyajima by train and ferry (travel from Hiroshima station is 45 min) + Visit the stunning giant "floating" tori gate and "floating" Itsukushima shrine UNESCO sites + Visit one of Japan's most significant Buddhist temples Daishoin - at the foot of the sacred Mt.Misen + Coffee / tea / lunch or snack break + Thousand mat hall + 5-story pagoda visit + Interesting high-quality local shops == NOTE== order, length of each visit and destinations will depend on the weather, guest walking speed and interests of the group. We do not have time to hike up to Mt.Misen or take a cable car (ropeway) up as it takes over 2-hours to get up and down. If you want to add a hike up Mt.Misen let's create a customized all-day tour for you on Miyajima island.

Transportation Details
Type: Walking

There is a fair bit of walking to do on a Miyajima island tour, but there are rest areas near the island's port where people in the group who have trouble walking can wait and rest while more active members explore. Direct ferries from Miyajima island to Peace Park are also an option to reduce walking amount.
