Miyajima is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is a very romantic and relaxing place. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views.
you can walk around Miyajima to see Itsukushima shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water, Five story pagoda and Buddist hall.
you can also visit Daishoin temple, one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism. It features a variety of buildings, statues and other religious objects for visitors to admire.
There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the island.
Oyster landed in Hiroshima is very big and thick tasty, and Hiroshima is the number one of landing of oysters in Japan. There are some oyster shops that serve grilled oysters and vinegared fresh oysters to visitors in the Miyajima Island.
Okonomiyaki is the most famous as Hiroshima soul food, cooked with superposition of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, egg and noodles, which is soba or udon, on thin flour dough spread like crepe.

At low tide, you are able to walk to Otorii Gate but when the tide flows it looks like the shrine is floating on water.
This idea to make the temple look different according to the tide will be only found here in Itsukushima shrine.
The tour may be changed according to the whether condition.
Our tour with Kazumi was fantastic! We had limited time in Hiroshima, and Kazumi was able to show us both World Heritage sites with ease. Her commentary was really interesting and tailored so that our children could understand. She was very kind and helped the kids learn a little more Japanese. We all had a great day and highly recommend this tour with Kazumi!!
Our day with Kazumi was the highlight of our trip to Japan. We caught the train from Osaka and Kazumi was at the exit waiting for us in Hiroshima. As a local, Kazumi explained the dreadful event of 6th August, 1945 in great detail. Walking the area gave us a real understanding from a Japanese perspective. The beautiful Miyajima Island was another wonderful part of our day. Catching the ferry over with Kazumi and wandering about was fun. Anyone who wants an indepth tour of Hiroshima, contact Kazumi!
Thank you for your lovely review, Kate. It’s beyond my pleasure to show you and made your day special. Please give Dianne my best regards and hope you are safe back to Australia. Thank you Kazumi
I had messaged Kazumi prior to travelling to Japan to see if she could arrange a tour for us as we were set to the day we would be in Hiroshima and arrival time due to trains. She sorted out to meet us at the station and planned an itinerary which gave us time to see the main sites as well as spent time learning about the history of both Hiroshima and Miyajima. She guided us around the transport system, took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch and told us so much not only about the area, but herself, family and life in Japan. We got on really well with her, she is warm, friendly and very easy to talk to. Thank you so much Kazumi for spending time with us today and making our day in Hiroshima one we will always remember. Best wishes to you and your family Neil, Kirsty & Sam
Thank you for your wonderful review, Neil. I am so glad that you enjoyed the day in Hiroshima. You are all kind and friendly. You reminded me of the time in London. I missed England. I also remember you all. Thank you so much again. Please send my best regards to Kirsty and Sam. Kazumi
My family truly had an amazing day in Hiroshima and nearby Miyajima Island with Kazumi. We now have such an education and appreciation for the horrific story of the bombing. Hiroshima have done so well recovering and helping others learn from their resurgent story. Kazumi’s background knowledge and thoughtful itinerary made these learning personal and unique. Despite the very hot weather, and after a tasty local lunch, we managed to visit Miyajima which is such a spiritual and beautiful place. Thank you Kazumi for spending the time with my wife, boys and I. It will be a day we will cherish and remember. Daniel.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed the day in HiroShima. Thank you for letting me leave you on the way back to Hiroshima station. My daughter is fine now. Please send my best regards to your wife and sons. You are all nice and I really hope you to have a great time in the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you Kazumi
