Explore the spiritual and natural wonders of Miyajima Island, one of Japan's three most scenic views.
The iconic floating torii gate and Itsukushima Shrine are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit at high tide to see the shrine seemingly floating on water.
Climb to the 535m summit of Mount Misen for panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea. Three hiking trails of varying difficulty lead to the top.
Friendly deer roam freely throughout the island and are considered sacred messengers. They are wild, so admire but do not feed them.
Spring cherry blossoms and autumn maple leaves frame the vermilion shrine in spectacular colours. The autumn leaves festival is especially beautiful.
💡 Practical Info : Arrive early or stay overnight to experience the shrine without crowds. The floating torii is best seen at high tide.
