In today's Japan travel vlog, we take a day trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima with the help of our JR Pass. Miyajima (宮島), also known as Itsukushima, is a small island in the Inland Sea of Japan. It's located in the northwest of Hiroshima Bay, less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima and is one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Places.
Miyajima is famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views.
🌸Other attractions on Miyajima include:
* Itsukushima Shrine: A Shinto shrine that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's known for its "floating" torii gate.
* Daiganji Temple: A Buddhist temple dedicated to the Goddess Benzaiten and three Buddhas.
* Daishō-in Temple: A historic temple on Mount Misen, the island's holy mountain. It's famous for its maple trees and autumn colors.
* Tsutsumigaura Nature Park: Has a protected beach, camping accommodation, and sea to swim in.
* Miyajima Aquarium: Families can watch sea lion shows.
* Machiya Street: Old-style wooden shops and cafes sell oysters and hina folk dolls on lantern-lit streets.
The best times to visit Miyajima are October/November (fall) and March/April/May (spring). Summers (June/July/August) in Hiroshima/Miyajima tend to be hot and humid. Winters (December/January/February) in Hiroshima/Miyajima can be cool or cold.
