You will take the train and ferry to Miyajima.

Itsukushima Shrine is one of Japan’s most iconic Shinto shrines, famous for its “floating” torii gate that appears to rise from the sea at high tide. Located on Miyajima Island, the shrine dates back to the 12th century and is dedicated to the deities of the sea and safe voyages. Built over the water on wooden stilts, Itsukushima Shrine harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding mountains and the Seto Inland Sea. As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers visitors not only architectural beauty but also a profound spiritual atmosphere shaped by centuries of worship and tradition.

Mount Misen is the highest peak on Miyajima Island, rising 535 meters above sea level and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea. Revered as a sacred mountain for centuries, it has long been associated with Buddhist practice and mountain worship. The hike to the summit takes you through lush forests, past unique rock formations and small temple halls, creating a rewarding journey both physically and spiritually. At the top, visitors are greeted with sweeping coastal views that make the climb unforgettable and a true highlight of any Miyajima experience.

You will take a ferry from Miyajima back to Hiroshima Station.
