Experience the enchanting sacred sea domain at Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima

📍Miyajima, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Miyajima, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine, is about an hour's journey from Hiroshima City via JR train and ferry. The iconic floating torii gate and shrine buildings change their appearance with the ebb and flow of the tide, creating a mystical scene that seems to float on the sea during high tide. The approach to the shrine is lined with stalls selling momiji manju (maple leaf-shaped cakes) and oysters, making it a delight for food lovers. Take the ropeway to the summit of Mount Misen for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea. In the evening, the contrast between the torii gate and the sunset is stunning, and the nighttime illumination is truly magical. Miyajima, where nature, faith, and culture come together, is a destination worth exploring thoroughly over the course of a day.
