    Miyajima and Memorial Park

    An absolutely wonderful tour, perfectly organized across two different sites. Our guide was exceptional. She adapted perfectly to our needs and expectations throughout the day. We found her extremely professional, warm and pleasant, and we especially appreciated her discretion, expertise, kindness, and experience. Thanks to Miyuri, we had a truly unforgettable day! Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I would definitely give this tour a 10/10 and highly recommend it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your warm and kind review. I had a wonderful time with you and your son. I hope you will visit Japan, and Hiroshima, again someday.

    A place of extraordinary beauty and spirituality

    The sacred island of Miyajima in Hiroshima prefecture is easily reached by public transport. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and it is spectacular and full of spirituality. You are welcomed by the famous Torii in the water. Then there is the Shinto stilt shrine Itsukushima and, going up, the Buddhist temple Daisho. You can eat the best oysters here. I highly recommend visiting this place.

    Miyajima All Day Tour

    Our local guide Miyu was well versed in the history and culture of Miyajima. She kept us on schedule and purchased all transportation tickets, which was most helpful. She suggested a perfect spot for lunch. Miyu was extremely accommodating of all our needs. We enjoyed her company and highly recommend her.

    Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.

    How much does Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima cost?

    +

    Prices start at $378 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 Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima?

    +

    Around 1 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima 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 and Miyajima Day Trip with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry. 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.

    What is included in Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima?

    +

    Included: guide fee; and Map of Miyajima. Not included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); Miyajima Ropeway; Entrance fee to Itsukushima Shrine & Hokoku Shrine; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima?

    +

    Is Full Day in Sacred Island Miyajima wheelchair or stroller accessible?
