Japan travel guide to what to do and eat in Miyajima, Hiroshima in a day!

Hiroshima is near the bottom of the main island Honshu and a must visit when coming to Hiroshima is the island Itsukushima, more popularly known as Miyajima. It’s one of Japan’s top 3 scenic sights, most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water.

Miyajima island is also a great place for a day trip from the Kansai region like Kyoto and Osaka but I would recommend staying in Hiroshima for a few days to explore Hiroshima city and another day for Miyajima island.

I started my trip off at Hiroshima station and took a 25 minute train ride to JR Miyajima-guchi station.

From there it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the ferry terminal where you will take a 10 minute ferry ride to go to Miyajima island.

Places visited:
Itsukushima Shrine and the “floating tori gate”
Omotesando Shopping Street
Momiji Bridge
Daisho-in Temple
Senjokaku and the 5 story Pagoda

  1. Where is that music from at the start?! It's so familiar, yet I can't figure it out. I know I've heard it before.

  2. Your videos are always fun to watch. Next time when I quit my job, the only thing I want to do is to travel to Japan.

  3. Absolute beauty of a woman. Looks like my wife… if I had one! Super cool informative channel.

  4. Japan does not allow dual citizenship right? Are you still an Aussie citizen? If so, have you been in Japan this entire time, or did you somehow manage to get back in by having family in the country?
    I know there are countless folks who have significant others or job opportunities or had planned to study in Japan, who have been constantly given hope and then let down over the past two years.

  5. That would have been a great place to go after my visit to the Genbaku and the Peace Park.
    It is on my list for my next visit, in 2025.

  6. If you’re in Hiroshima, you got to check out Hotel Xcell ! It’s in the heart of the entertainment district and has jacuzzis, sauna and lounge on the roof !

  7. Thnx for the awesome video. I’ll definitely stay a night at the island when I visit ☺️

  8. Still very beautiful place to live….and japans culture has grown somewhat familiar with other races ❤
