Hiroshima Attractions｜World Heritage-Itsukushima Shrine-Miyajima-Three Views of Japan

#Seaview #100 Ways to Travel
Located in Hatsukaichi City in the southern part of Hiroshima Prefecture, it is conveniently located to JR Hiroshima Station by train to JR Miyajimaguchi Station, which takes about 30 minutes, or by tram to the last stop, Hiroden Miyajimaguchi Station, which takes about 75 minutes.

Then go to the ferry terminal to buy a ferry ticket for ¥200 and Miyajima sightseeing tax of ¥100. Choose the JR West ferry route to and from Miyajima, which is closer to the Great Torii and more convenient for taking pictures of the Great Torii on the sea. The voyage takes about 10 minutes to reach Miyajima.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the ferry terminal to Itsukushima Shrine. There are many wild deer along the way (please do not feed them). When you arrive at the entrance of Itsukushima Shrine, you can buy a ticket for ¥300 to enter and visit. The worship route is one-way and you can walk around the shrine but do not go back.

You can check the high and low tide times first, wait quietly on the shore for the tide to ebb and then walk to the Big Torii. Nature is really magical. Time operates quietly according to the rules. The tide rises when it is supposed to rise and ebbs when it is supposed to ebb. After the tide ebbs, the flat sand is exposed and it is safe to walk under the Big Torii.

After the tour, we walked back from the shopping street behind Itsukushima Shrine. It is clean here without any peculiar smell of seafood. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops. You can taste the famous oyster dishes. This is probably the most delicious oyster I have ever eaten. It is fresh and has no peculiar smell. You can taste the salty taste of the sea. The price is very affordable and not particularly expensive. Finally, we took a boat back to Miyajimaguchi. I recommend it to everyone. If you travel to Hiroshima, you must come to Miyajima.
