What To Expect
Miyajima
Miyajima (宮島) is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. 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. While officially named Itsukushima, the island is more commonly referred to as Miyajima, Japanese for "shrine island". This is because the island is so closely related to its key shrine, Itsukushima Shrine, in the public's mind. Like the torii gate, the shrine's main buildings are built over water. Miyajima is a romantic place, best enjoyed by staying overnight at one of the island's ryokan. While there are usually many day tourists, in the evening the area becomes much quieter and more peaceful. There are also wild deer on the island that have become accustomed to people. In the day the deer wander around the same sites as the tourists, and in the evening they sleep along the walking paths.
Itsukushima Shrine
The centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushima Jinja) on Miyajima is the source of both the island's fame and its name. Formally named Itsukushima, the island is more popularly known as "Miyajima", literally "shrine island" in Japanese, thanks to its star attraction. The shrine is known worldwide for its iconic "floating" torii gate. The shrine and its torii gate are unique for being built over water, seemingly floating in the sea during high tide. The shrine complex consists of multiple buildings, including a prayer hall, a main hall and a noh theater stage, which are connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea.

Mayajima and Hiroshima with Sachiko (Robyn)

5.00Sachiko was a great guide. We enjoyed our day travelling with her. She helped us with all the travel and the ferry ride to Miyajima. She constantly pointed out the highlights and provided a good story as we toured. She took us to a great local spot on Miyajima that is mostly frequented by locals. I would recommend her as a guide!
Excellent guide provided

5.00Our guide spoke English very fluently. She communicated and set up arrangements through WhatsApp. We purchased the JR tickets in advance. She picked us up from the hotel lobby and took care in explaining all the monuments and details of the museum. For once we didn’t have to worry about language or communication issues. Would recommend Ms. Jun anytime.
