Rising from the devastation of World War II, Hiroshima has transformed into a city rich in history, with the iconic Itsukushima Shrine as one of its most famous landmarks. Join a Hiroshima shore excursion and venture deeper into the charm of Miyajima Island, where you can discover highlights like Ebisuya Miyajima, the scenic Momijidani Park, and the traditional charm of Machiya Street.
Your Hiroshima shore excursion begins with a warm welcome at the port by your local guide, who will accompany you to the iconic Itsukushima Shrine. Famous for its “floating” Torii Gate, this UNESCO World Heritage Site captivates visitors with its striking red pillars and elevated boardwalks. At low tide, you can walk out to the gate and may even encounter wild deer roaming freely in the area.
Next, enjoy a unique cultural experience with a rickshaw ride provided by Ebisuya Miyajima, offering a scenic and traditional way to explore the island’s charm.
Continue to Momijidani Park, a serene spot especially popular in autumn for its vibrant maple leaves. The park is home to hundreds of maple trees and offers picturesque walking paths. Nearby, you can visit Yatsugahara Biroku, one of the Eight Great Views of Itsukushima, known for its peaceful setting and friendly deer.
End your journey with a relaxing walk along Miyajima’s Machiya Street, where traditional folk houses have been transformed into quaint cafes and art galleries. This nostalgic area offers a glimpse into the island’s cultural heritage and timeless charm. After your visit, your driver will take you back to the port for your departure.
