Meeting Point

Miyajima Island

Miyajima is thought to be the island where God lives. It is said that Itsukushima Shrine is built on the coast because the entire island is considered the body of God and is sanctified. Itsukushima Shrine was built at the end of the 6th century. The landscape combined with the vermilion lacquered shrine building, the green virgin forest at the back, and the blue sea duly symbolizes the Japanese sense of beauty. The beauty of the landscapes continues to attract visitors.

You can visit the Torii gate, shrine and other traditional buildings.

Wild deer live on the island as the messengers of the god welcome you.

Okonomiyaki is a layered pancake, Hiroshima’s soul food.

About Tour Guide Kazumi M.

Hi everyone.

I'm Kazumi. I am a qualified tour guide.I have been guiding Hiroshima since 2010.

Through guiding Hiroshima, I can give my guests my knowledge of this area and Japanese culture. At the same time, I can learn their understanding of Japan and the differences between our culture and theirs, which is very interesting. I also believe that meeting with local people is the best way to know the area. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I am very happy to give you wonderful time and memories in Hiroshima. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
