Hiroshima: Miyajima Island Half Day Tour

About this activity

Meet your local English-speaking guide in Hiroshima and let them handle all the logistics, ferry and shrine tickets, so you can focus on the magic of Japan’s “Island of the Gods.”

Cross the Seto Inland Sea, greet the free-roaming deer, and learn how tides transform the famous vermilion torii: floating at high tide, walkable at low tide (your guide will check the tide forecast and aim for the best photo window).

Explore the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, Omotesando shopping street, and the tranquil Daisho-in Temple. Along the way, enjoy a bite of freshly prepared Hiroshima oyster (grilled when in season) and a sweet momiji manju maple-leaf cake—local flavors beloved by islanders.

Your guide snaps photos and shares them after the tour. Return to Hiroshima with insider tips for the rest of your trip.
