Overview

  • Experience Miyajima beyond the famous floating torii gate on a fully private tour with a Japanese local guide.

    Visit UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, peaceful Daisho-in Temple, traditional streets and the island’s natural scenery while discovering why Miyajima has been considered sacred for centuries.

    As you explore, understand the meaning behind the shrines, temples and traditions you see, including the connection between Shinto, Buddhism and nature in Japan.

    Your experienced, qualified guide has deep ties to Hiroshima, with most of our guides born and raised in the region. They also have international experience and speak clear, easy-to-understand English, making meaningful conversation and questions easy throughout the tour.

    Move at your own pace, enjoy local food, spend longer at places that interest you or explore quieter parts of the island.

    Guests staying in central Hiroshima can meet their guide at their hotel or Hiroshima Station and travel together to Miyajima.
