Miyajima Magic🌊

Jumping out of Hiroshima’s hustle, I found the ultimate chill spot: Hatsukaichi & the legendary Miyajima Island 🌊😌. Whether it’s dramatic torii gates looming in the mist or fresh oysters devoured by the sea, this quick escape is pure recharge vibes!

Must-See Places:
1. Miyajima Island (Hiroshima ken, Hatsukaichi city, Miyajima cho)
Open year-round 6:30–17:30, this sacred spot is next-level. Wander from the main ferry pier and catch epic views of the iconic floating torii—especially atmospheric in cloudy, rainy weather! Pro traveler tip: pack an umbrella but don’t sweat the drizzle; the fog makes shrine photos moody (your Instagram will thank you 💦).

2. Outdoor Natural Scenery
Just off the main shrine area, explore lush forests and hidden hiking trails. The other trees and close-up nature scenes are incredible even (or especially!) in the rain—less crowds, more tranquility.

3. Seaside Oysters & Street Eats
Don’t miss Miyajima’s food stalls for freshly grilled oysters and other local snacks. Grab a bite right by the sea for maximum “I’m living my best life” energy! Favorites include momiji manju (maple leaf sweets) for dessert.

Transport Hack:
Getting to Miyajima is easy—hop the JR Sanyo Line to Miyajimaguchi, then the ferry (only 10 min!). No need for fancy passes if it’s just a daytrip.

Money & Weather Tips:
Plan on some extra yen for street food, and wear water-resistant shoes (rain is totally common here!). ATMs are easily found, but cash goes a long way for small stalls.
