Miyajima is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is a very romantic and relaxing place. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views.
you can walk around Miyajima to see Itsukushima shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water, Five story pagoda and Buddist hall.
you can also visit Daishoin temple, one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism. It features a variety of buildings, statues and other religious objects for visitors to admire.
There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the island.
Oyster landed in Hiroshima is very big and thick tasty, and Hiroshima is the number one of landing of oysters in Japan. There are some oyster shops that serve grilled oysters and vinegared fresh oysters to visitors in the Miyajima Island.
Okonomiyaki is the most famous as Hiroshima soul food, cooked with superposition of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg and noodles, which is soba or udon, on thin flour dough spread like crepe.
At low tide, you are able to walk to Otorii Gate but when the tide flows it looks like the shrine is floating on water.
This idea to make the temple look different according to the tide will be only found here in Itsukushima shrine.

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.

“Hiroshima Half Day Peace Tour”
My wife and I had a great experience with Kazumi who couldn’t have been more helpful and delightful. Her knowledge of the events that unfolded on that terrible day in 1945 was excellent, tasteful and comprehensive. Kazumi went out of her way to accommodate me as I have a bad back, it involved several breaks along the way as I had to rest it from time to time. All in all I can’t give a higher recommendation for booking a tour with Kazumi, it was an absolute first class pleasure.
Kazumi M.
Thank you for your great review, Ewan. How is your back today? I hope it is better than yesterday. It must have been hard for you to walk along the park so I feel better to hear that you still enjoyed the day. Please send my best regards to your wife, Donna. Take care of yourself and hope you have a wonderful time and safe back to your home. Thank you Kazumi

Thank you for your great review. It was a very nice meeting with you both. I am glad to hear that you had a good time with me although the island is too crowded and too hot. I really appreciate our conversation with you about kids and Sedro-wolley! I hope you will have a great time on your cruise. Thank you Kazumi
