Charming experience
Lovely experience making a traditional Omamori charm. Staff were very helpful at every step of the process, and there was a wide range of materials to choose from. Once the charms were completed each person had the opportunity to bless the charm at the altar / shrine with incense. Only slight negative would be that the cost per person seems a little high, since the activity is part of a larger premises and shop, and minimal materials required
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed making your omamori and the blessing ceremony. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pricing. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Beautiful amulet making experience
We had an amazing experience making these beautiful amulets. The location is off the beaten track, but this just makes the experience so much better! Our guide to making the amulets was amazing & gave us the background to each step & each part making up the amulet. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for coming. We are so happy to know that you liked us. Come back to see us!

Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $6500 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 Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 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 Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience?
+
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 Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience?
+
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 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miyajima Island:Original Omamori Lucky Charm Making Experience 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.
