Entrance to Miyajima Island is free, but there is a fee to enter the Itsukushima Shrine (around ¥300 for adults). Tickets can be purchased at the shrine entrance, or you can buy a combination ticket for the ferry and shrine at nearby counters.
It is not necessary to book tickets for the ferry or shrine in advance. However, during peak seasons, it may be a good idea to book ferry tickets in advance to avoid long waits.
A visit to Miyajima Island typically takes about 4-5 hours. If you plan to hike Mount Misen or explore the shrine and surrounding area in depth, you may need more time.
Guided tours are available in English, Japanese, and other languages. Audio guides can be rented for a small fee, offering explanations in various languages, including English.
Start by visiting Itsukushima Shrine and the famous Torii gate. Then, hike or take the ropeway up Mount Misen for a panoramic view. Afterward, visit Daishoin Temple and explore the local shops and restaurants on the island.
Night visits to the Torii gate and shrine are not common, but during festivals, such as the Miyajima Fireworks Festival, special light shows and evening events occur. Check local event schedules before visiting.
Weekends and holidays tend to be crowded. To avoid the crowds, visit early in the morning on weekdays, especially outside peak tourist seasons such as spring and autumn.
There are public restrooms, restaurants, cafes, and shops throughout the island. You can find water stations and rest areas in most popular locations, including near the ferry terminal and shrine.
While most areas on Miyajima Island are accessible, the hike to Mount Misen might be challenging for elderly or disabled visitors. However, there is a ropeway available to reach the top of Mount Misen, making it easier for all visitors.
