We visited while the Tori gate was under construction which meant that we couldn’t see it at all. The shrine is also very beautiful but it would be much cooler to see on a high tide. The island is very beautiful and great for souvenir shopping. The maple cakes are also very good! You should try them, they’re not too sweet. Custard and chocolate are my favourites. The island also gives you a bit of access to beach which is nice to see if you’ve been in the city your whole trip otherwise.

Good day trip recommended from Hiroshima. Travelled by train to Miyajima and jumped on a ferry to the island of Itsukushima. All fares were covered by our JR West Kansai Hiroshima Pass. Lots of places to explore on the island including this popular shrine, plenty of shops and food places to discover. We made it a point to try the oysters as it’s popular in the area. The friendly deers roaming around freely were quite adorable. Unfortunately, the torii gate was being renovated during our visit (November 2019). Make sure to allow several hours to spend on the island. And since we travelled pre-Covid19, we spent a bit of time lining up to board the ferry back to the mainland because of the huge number of visitors. Lines moved quickly though.

One of the most iconic place in the Japan. This Torii gate is standing over the sea of the most famous photographed example of the Japan. Usually the Shrine is open from 6.30 am to 6.00 pm and the time depend on the season. Most famous tourist destination and a world heritage.

Known for the floating Tori gate, this place is a 10 minute ferry ride from the Jr ferry station. Plan the visit around sunset time so that while in ferry you can watch the sunset. Also can try oyster in the street shops. The whole shrine visit shouldn’t take more than an hour.
