1日宮島ツアー：日本屈指の景勝地

Meet your guide under the Tourist Information sign outside the Shinkansen gates at Hiroshima Station. Your guide will be holding a Snow Monkey Resorts tour sign. Arriving early is recommended as the station is currently under construction.

Walk to Senjokaku Pavilion, a shrine whose construction was never completed. The open structure has no formal entrances or exits and allows views of the surrounding island from all sides. Your guide will cover the history of the pavilion during the visit.

Visit Itsukushima Shrine, built over the sea on a tidal flat. Your guide will cover the shrine's history and provide an introduction to Shintoism. The visit includes the worship halls, the floating shrine architecture, and views of the O-torii gate in the Seto Inland Sea.

Walk to Daisho-in Temple, a Shingon Buddhist temple close to Itsukushima Shrine. The grounds contain numerous Buddhist statues and multiple halls. The Daishi Hall houses 88 statues representing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, lit by golden lanterns. Your guide will cover the temple's history during the visit.

Free time on Omotesando Shopping Street for lunch, shopping, and independent exploration. Local specialties available include oysters, conger eel, and momiji manju. Wild deer roam freely around the island and are commonly seen along the street and shoreline during this time.

Board the Miyajima Ropeway for the ascent to the top of Mount Misen. Ropeway tickets are included in the tour price. At the top, guests may remain at the Shishiiwa Observatory or join the guide for the hike to the Mount Misen summit Observatory.

Short free time for last souvenir purchases and photos before returning to the pier. The O-torii gate low-tide walk is scheduled by the guide at the most suitable point during the day based on tidal conditions.

The guide accompanies the group on the ferry and train back to Hiroshima Station, where the tour concludes in front of the Shinkansen gates. Onward travel from Hiroshima should not be booked before 18:40.
