About this guide

MiyajimaTour.com is an independent guide to visiting Miyajima (Itsukushima) and its shrine, mostly from Hiroshima, plus day trips from Osaka and Kyoto. We are not a tour operator, the shrine, the Miyajima Tourist Association, Hatsukaichi City or Viator, and the site name describes the trip we write about rather than a business. For official information see Itsukushima Shrine and the Miyajima Tourist Association.

Facts here are checked against the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews), the shrine, the ferry companies, the ropeway and other published sources. Prices, tide times and opening hours change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you that Miyajima is easy to visit on your own. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
