The Island Where Gods and Humans Coexist

Beyond the
Floating Gate.

Experience the spiritual heart of Hiroshima. From the wild deer of the coast to the eternal flame of Mt. Misen.

Start Exploring Check Tide Times

The Miyajima Trio

Three pillars of the perfect island journey.

⛩️

Itsukushima Shrine

A UNESCO World Heritage site built over the water. Watch the tide transform the shrine from a boardwalk to a floating palace.

🚠

Mount Misen

Ride the ropeway or hike the Momijidani trail to the summit. Visit the "Eternal Flame" that has burned for over 1,200 years.

🦌

Sacred Deer

Gentle wild deer roam the island. They are considered messengers of the gods—though they are very fond of tourists' maps!

Timing is Everything

High Tide (>250cm)

"The Floating Illusion"

Best for photography. The Torii gate and shrine appear to float magically on the Seto Inland Sea.

Low Tide (<100cm)

"The Earthly Connection"

The water recedes, allowing you to walk directly across the sand to touch the base of the massive Torii gate.
