5.00It was all wonderful! The guide Pancho provided a lot of information - both historical and current - about the torii gate, shrine, and Daisho-in temple, as well as Miyajima island itself. Definitely recommend the tour and Pancho to others.
It was everything I thought it would be and then some!

5.00It was a great experience from the start, as I learned how the train system works ect. My guide pointed out the best place to stand on the ferry for photographic reasons. We visited several Shrines and all my questions were answered. It’s a beautiful island with beautiful things to see. All in all just a great experience and can highly recommend it.
The best trip of my life

5.00Miyajima Island is probably one of the most interesting places of Japan, full of wonderful temples, shrines and deers. The guide, Pancho, did litterally everything to make my trip perfect and unforgettable. He told me many things about the history of Miyajima and Hiroshima. He showed me the most beautiful places on the island and he took me many photos. I sincerely suggest everyone to join this trip.
