• A perfect fine day on Miyajima Island

  It was one of the best experience that I could ever ask for! I saw the Itsukushima Shrine and it was totally beautiful beyond words! My first time visit to Miyajima Island and I often heard that oyster farm and oyster meals are a thing there, and the reputation does not lie. The oysters I enjoyed that day were so fresh and delicious. The insight on Miyajima Island as the Island of the Gods were also stunning and I could not believe it at first. The timing was also perfect, not too slow and not too rushed, but would appreciate more time blending in with the locals. Recommended tour for first-time visitors to Miyajima Island!

  One of the main themes of the tour was visiting an oyster farm, followed by an oyster lunch. There were more than 10 tourists in our group, and it was everyone’s first time trying oysters. So it was definitely something new and special to add to the itinerary.

  

  

  

  

• Enjoy Miyajima! From traditional landscapes to delicious oyster lunch

  Thanks to this tour I could discover the historical attractions of Miyajima Island and enjoy the taste of local Oyster. The tour starts in the ferry terminal, from where you're taken on a roundtrip to the island, in a 4 hours length field trip. It also includes free time to explore the wonders of the island, but I'd recommend more spare time to fully enjoy the place. The staff that guides the group was very considerate, and answer all our questions, and also explain the importance of Itsukushima Shrine, the religious rituals inside the temple and important cultural information. Other staff will help you teaching about oyster farming and during the lunch. It is recommended to carry some bottle of water, but don't worry for the food! The tour includes a generous and delicious lunch with different oyster dishes. It was one of the most interesting experiences since it was my first time eating it! Personally, I think this tour gives you an opportunity to explore the island trough an amazing view. When taking the ferry to oyster farm, we had the opportunity to see Itukushima shire from close and taking pictures. I think is best for friends of family groups, because the groups are not crowded, but you have the opportunity to interact with new people at this tour.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Magical miyajima island

  What an unforgettable experience. The Miyajima guided tour, combined with the fresh oyster farm visit, was thoughtfully designed to give visitors something truly special, an experience to savor and memories to hold onto long after the day ends. From the very beginning, every moment felt meaningful. The island’s deep historical significance was brought to life in a way that sparked the imagination, especially its importance within the Shinto belief system. Walking through Miyajima felt less like sightseeing and more like stepping into a living story. The guide was exceptional, clear, patient, and genuinely passionate. You could sense how much she cared about sharing every detail, making sure nothing was rushed or overlooked. The boat ride out to the oyster farms was another highlight. The explanation of the oyster formation process was fascinating and delivered in a way that was both informative and engaging. And then came the oyster lunch, the perfect crowning of the moments. From watching the preparation to tasting the oysters served in different styles, it was a true culinary celebration. Each bite reflected the freshness of the sea and the care taken in presenting the meal. Overall, it was an amazing experience; worth every penny and filled with memories beautifully made and well worth documenting. Arigatou gozaimasu

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• It was such a wonderful tour to Miyajima

  We were welcomed by the calm sea and the iconic Great Torii of Itsukushima Shrine, standing gracefully as if floating on the water. It was truly breathtaking to see this famous symbol up close. The journey continued with a visit to the magnificent Itsukushima Shrine, beautifully built over the sea. Our guide clearly explained the history of the shrine and taught us the proper way to pray. The atmosphere felt sacred and peaceful. After that, we took photos with the stunning torii gate in the background. We also had free time to walk around and shop for local souvenirs. Later, we returned to the port to head to the oyster farm. Before arriving, we were taken closer to the torii gate from the sea an incredibly beautiful and unforgettable experience. At the oyster farm, we learned about the cultivation process in the middle of the sea. It was fascinating to see how oysters are grown and prepared for harvest. The highlight of the tour was enjoying fresh oysters that tasted sweet, tender, and incredibly fresh from the sea. Everything felt even more special thanks to our friendly and informative guide, who shared many interesting stories. A perfect day with beautiful scenery, valuable experiences, and unforgettable memories. Thank you for this amazing tour.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A Peaceful Journey to Miyajima

  Visiting Miyajima was an unforgettable cultural experience. The peaceful atmosphere and traditional scenery make it one of Japan’s most charming destinations. The famous floating torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine looks magical, especially when the tide rises and reflects on the water. Walking around the island, I enjoyed seeing friendly deer and exploring small local shops selling fresh oysters and sweet momiji manju. For a wider view, I recommend going up Mount Misen, where you can see the beautiful Seto Inland Sea from above. The island is easy to reach by ferry from Hiroshima, making it a perfect day trip. Overall, it is a peaceful, clean, and culturally rich place worth visiting.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• First Time Cooking Oysters in Miyajima

  SoloExcursion,Feb 20, 2026

  - Review from Tripadvisor

  The most important part of this tour was visiting the oyster farm and having an oyster lunch. We were more than 10 tourists today, and all of them said it was their first time cooking and eating an oyster. Now, coming to the Miyajima tour — the guide explained everything clearly. We didn’t know that “Un” and “Aa” represent the beginning and the end. It was very interesting to learn about it. From 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, the half-day tour was enough to fully enjoy the experience.

• The Perfect Way to Discover Miyajima -both on the Land & Sea Surface

  If you’re visiting Miyajima, this is the tour you shouldn’t miss. Everything was smooth and professional from the start. Our guide was punctual, warm, and knowledgeable, bringing the history of Itsukushima Shrine and the statue of Taira no Kiyomori to life with stories many visitors would otherwise overlook. The island felt rich with meaning, not just beautiful scenery. The highlight was visiting the oyster farm. It was my first time seeing one up close, and we didn’t just observe—we learned how oysters are cultivated and why Hiroshima oysters are so famous. It felt authentic and personal. Sharing a fresh oyster lunch with new friends, overlooking the calm waters, made the day even more memorable. If you’re traveling to Japan — especially Hiroshima — don’t miss Miyajima. For a scenic boat cruise, hidden history, and authentic oysters at the source, this tour is the perfect choice. Highly recommended — it’s more than a tour; it’s a lasting experience.

  

  

  

  

  

• Fun and Educational Trip to Miyajima!

  This was an experience I doubt if I would ever forget. The boat cruise, the history of the Island dating back the 13th Century, history around sacred nature of Miyajima island where no body of cremation has ever been recorded. Two things that stood out for me are the deers which are referred to as the messengers of the Gods and The Mighty Miyajima red gate, not to add the Oyster grilling experience, simply OISHI!
