About this experience

Famous as a World Heritage site, Miyajima has long been called the "Island of Gods." It is said that the island's shape inspired a sense of divine presence, leading people to worship it. As you sail from Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, you will see the peaks of Miyajima, which resemble the reclining figure of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. What kind of Kannon do you see?

Itsukushima Shrine Torii
[00:10] Cruise Visit shrines along the coastline of Miyajima, including the famous Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, as you circle the island in a clockwise direction. Miyajima, with a circumference of about 30 km, ranks among the top 10 largest islands in the Seto Inland Sea, which contains around 700 islands. While Itsukushima-jinja Shrine is the most famous, the coastline is dotted with many other shrines (collectively known as the Nanaura Shrines). Visiting the seven shrines located in various inlets around the island is known as the "Nanaura Pilgrimage" or in Japanese "Nanaura Meguri."

Savor the famous anago (conger eel) bento from the long-standing popular store Anago Meshi Ueno at Miyajima-guchi. It is also the head office of “Japanese Garden Ryokan Sekitei,” an Inn at Miyahama Onsen that has gained popularity around the world. We provide this special bento for you to enjoy during a beachside lunch at the midpoint of the Nanaura Pilgrimage.

Itsukushima Shrine Torii
[02:00] Continue cruising to Okushin Pier. This tradition originates from the legend that the deity of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine circled the island searching for a place to reside. Following this custom, visitors to Itsukushima-jinja Shrine would perform a ritual called “Nanaura Pilgrimage" to purify their minds and bodies. This sacred ritual, practiced for over 1,500 years, was even performed by Oda Nobunaga. Reflect on the historical figures who shaped Japan as you undertake this pilgrimage.

3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box cost?
+
Prices start at $17832 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hiroshima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hiroshima is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hiroshima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hiroshima and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour Nanaura Tour around Miyajima with Lunch Box start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hiroshima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hiroshima?
+
On Outty we rank every Hiroshima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour, Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites, Hiroshima & Miyajima in 1 Day: Private Tour, Licensed Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hiroshima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hiroshima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
