About this experience
[Weekday Exclusive] Visit the western coast of Miyajima, a sacred island where the gods reside. Embark on a lunch cruise aboard the unique raft-style lounge ship, HANAIKADA, the only one of its kind in Japan, offering a 90-minute seafront dining experience in the untouched natural beauty off Miyahama Onsen. Create unforgettable memories with loved ones before or after staying at Miyahama Onsen or exploring Miyajima. Launched in 2020, HANAIKADA is a one-of-a-kind ship, resembling a raft that floats in the waters off Miyajima. With a concept of a raft-like structure close to the sea surface, it features a glass-encased building and terrace area, creating a space for 12 passengers surrounded by the serene atmosphere typical of the Seto Inland Sea. Sailing through the Ono Seto on this ship allows you to harmonize with the Seto Inland Sea, step onto the terrace, and enjoy the slowly passing time, forgetting the hustle and bustle of daily life.

10 minutes here
11:30 Arrive at the port 11:45 Lunch cruise starts 13:30 Return to the port While the eastern side of Miyajima, with Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, is considered the cultural zone, the western side, the location for this plan, is the natural zone, where ancient untouched nature remains. Observing the unspoiled west coast gives a sense of why Miyajima has been referred to as a place where "gods reside." This is likely the same scenery that Kukai (Kobo Daishi), Monk of the Heian Period(794-1180), and Oda Nobunaga once admired on Miyajima. Moreover, the cruise includes a sea visit to one of the Nanaura-jinja Shrines (Seven Shrines), the Mitoko-jinja Shrine. It is considered a sacred place where a deity was temporarily enshrined during the construction of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine. Enjoy the charm of Miyajima different from the bustling tourist spots. The approximately 90-minute cruise is accompanied by a lunch, creating a vibrant time with the combination of the sea's location and cuisine.

Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima cost?
+
Prices start at $11850 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 Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 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 outdoors in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima?
+
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 Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of Miyajima?
+
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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lunch on Raft-Style Boat HANAIKADA on the west coast of 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 & 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.
