Private Guided Tour to Miyajima from Osaka or Kyoto

Your private guide meets you at Shin-Osaka Station, where the journey begins. Before boarding the train, the guide introduces the Kansai region and explains the cultural background of Hiroshima and Miyajima. During the ride, you can relax while listening to commentary about the cities and landscapes passing by the window.

After arriving on Miyajima, you walk along Omotesando Shopping Street, the island’s main pedestrian area. The street is lined with small shops and food stalls, making it a pleasant place to browse for local snacks or souvenirs before reaching the shrine area.

You continue toward the famous torii gate standing in the sea. At low tide, you can walk close to the gate and see its scale from below. At high tide, the gate appears to float on the water, offering a beautiful view against the sea and sky.

Next, you visit Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, one of Japan’s most well-known Shinto sites. Your guide explains the shrine’s history, architecture, and religious meaning, helping you understand why this place has been important for centuries.

The tour concludes with a peaceful walk through Omoto Park. Surrounded by forest and mountains, this area is home to free-ranging shika deer. You can enjoy nature, take photos, and experience the quiet atmosphere that makes Miyajima special.
