What To Expect
Itsukushima Shrine Treasure Hall
Established in the 6th century, this shrine is one of Japan's finest, and is famous for its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style structure (architecture representative of a nobles' residence in the Heian period). The contrast of the green of Mount Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.

5.00This was a very good trip. I had planned this mainly for Hiroshima, however the island was a real treat, we enjoyed it a lot! The guides were very nice and did a great job!
Excellent but more time in Hiroshima would improve it

4.00This is a group tour so it lacks the flexibility of a private guide. We enjoyed it all, although I would have distributed the time more away from Miyajima and toward Hiroshima. The later being the primary focus of the day it should have received the bulk of the time. We did appreciate the seat reservations on the bullet train. We have had other tours that provided only unreserved seating with poor results. It is a long day but well worth it.
