Miyajima is a small island just off the coast of Hiroshima, famous for its scenic beauty, friendly deer, and iconic floating torii gate. With tranquil forests, historic temples, and stunning sea views, it's a must-see spot for anyone exploring Japan. This charming destination perfectly blends nature and tradition, offering visitors a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life.

A Glimpse into the Past

The island has been a holy site of Shinto and Buddhism for centuries. It is best known for Itsukushima Shrine, with its striking red gate standing in the water. Throughout its history, Miyajima was a place where ordinary people came to pray and marvel at the harmony between human creation and nature.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and autumn are considered the ideal times to enjoy Miyajima. In spring, cherry blossoms give the landscape a magical pink hue, while autumn brings vibrant colors to the island’s maple trees. The mild weather during these seasons makes walking and sightseeing even more pleasant.

How do I reach the island?

You can easily get to Miyajima by taking a ferry from the mainland near Hiroshima. The trip is quick, scenic, and available throughout the day. Both local trains and trams connect Hiroshima city with the ferry terminals.

Are there things to do besides the shrine?

Absolutely! Hike up Mount Misen for panoramic views, stroll through Momijidani Park, sample local street food, or spend time with the friendly wild deer that roam the island. There are plenty of traditional shops and peaceful corners to discover.
