Tour Important Information

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.

The tour may be changed according to the whether condition.

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.

Reviews

Brilliant tour of a place with difficult history.

Kazumi was a great guide that allowed our family to have a quick view of Hiroshima and the neighboring islands. Very knowledgeable and flexible with the items we were interested in learning more about. It allowed us to spend the couple following days in Hiroshima with more purpose. Would certainly recommend as a tour of Hiroshima.
