About Miyajima

Miyajima is the common name for the island of Itsukushima in Hiroshima Bay. It is named for its famous shrine, which has made it a popular tourist spot for hundreds of years. With a large number of ancient religious sites, much of the island is covered with undisturbed forest.

It can be easily reached by ferry from Hiroshima for a day trip or overnight stay.
