Meeting Point

In the lobby of your Hotel

- I'd like to meet you in the lobby of your hotel, but if you prefer, we can arrange a different location upon request.

10:00 AM

Ancient beauty/ Floating Torii Gate and Itsukushima Shrine

The Floating Torii Gate is the iconic symbol of Itsukushima Shrine, located on the sacred island of Miyajima. The torii appears to float on the water during high tide, creating a stunning visual effect, while at low tide, visitors can walk right up to it.


Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over water and is dedicated to Shinto deities. Its elegant wooden structures, connected by boardwalks, are designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the island.


The shrine and torii gate offer a serene and picturesque experience, blending history, spirituality, and nature.

11:10 AM

Feel the ancient breeze / Five-storied Pagoda and Senjokaku

The Five-storied Pagoda, built in 1407, is a striking blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles, offering beautiful view of the island.


Nearby, Senjokaku or "Pavilion of 1,000 (tatami) Mats" is a spacious, unfinished wooden hall originally intended as a Buddhist library, known for its serene atmosphere and historical significance.

11:40 AM

Enjoy local cuisines / Shopping Street

Explore the Omotesando shopping street, the main street of Miyajima, with many souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. On weekends and holidays, there are many stores lined along the street. "Okonomiyaki", "conger eel", "grilled fish cake", and fresh "oyster", etc. Local food will satisfy your stomach for sure. Plus, as a dessert, "Momiji Manju" is a must-taste.

01:00 PM

Walk & Ride / Mt. Misen

Mt. Misen is the highest peak on Miyajima, offering breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea and surrounding islands. Visitors can take the Miyajima Ropeway, a scenic cable car ride that glides above lush forests, bringing you close to the summit. From the upper station, it's a roughly 20-minute walk to the top, where you can explore ancient temples and sacred eternal fire.


The panoramic views from the peak are stunning, making it a rewarding experience for nature lovers and hikers alike. Both the cable car and hike offer unique perspectives of this sacred mountain.


Note: I'll be taking the tour using only the cable car.

03:00 PM

Temple wonderland / Daishoin-Temple

Daishoin Temple, located at the base of Mt. Misen, is one of the island's most significant Buddhist temples. Founded in 806 by the monk Kukai, it features a serene complex of halls, statues, and pathways. Visitors can explore its intricate stone steps lined with spinning prayer wheels, peaceful meditation halls, and beautiful gardens. Daishoin is less crowded than other Miyajima attractions, offering a tranquil escape where you can experience traditional Buddhist rituals and appreciate the temple's historical significance.

About Tour Guide Keiko K.

Hello, welcome to my profile! I'm Keiko (Kay). As a national certified guide deeply passionate about the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of this area, I am eager to share these experiences with you. With over 16 years of experience living abroad, mostly in Europe, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures and meeting incredible people from around the world. I'm sociable, outgoing and love making new connections wherever I go.


I'm also very active, enjoying sports like badminton, biking, jogging, and dancing, especially zumba and salsa. On top of that, I've been playing the piano for over *xx years, a passion that brings balance to my life. (The reason XX is simply because I hesitate to disclose my age...)


Health and nutrition are important to me, as is the same to everyone, and I love exploring new ways to stay healthy and enjoy good food!


Our itinerary will take us through some of the most iconic landmarks, as well as a few hidden gems that only locals know about. Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient architecture, indulging in the local cuisine, or learning about the fascinating history that has shaped this place, I am here to tailor the tour to your interests.


Would I be a good fit for your company here in Hiroshima?


Warm regards,

Keiko(Kay)
