Hiroshima Attractions｜World Heritage-Three Scenic Spots of Japan-Original Torii Gate-One-day Tour to Miyajima

#itineraryshare Hiroshima is a city that is very suitable for slow travel. Hiroshima streetcars can reach almost all famous tourist attractions. Even in Hatsukaichi City, far south of Hiroshima, there is a world-famous international attraction-Miyajima. Many cover photos about Japan travel. It is the large torii gate on the sea in Miyajima. And it can be reached by streetcar, so it is very suitable for planning a day trip. Transportation guide: Take the train from JR Hiroshima Station to JR Miyajimaguchi Station, which takes about 30 minutes through 9 stops. If you purchase a JR PASS, it usually includes JR West Ferry tickets. Choosing JR will save time and money; or from Hiroshima Take the streetcar "Line 2" from the station to the terminal station, Hiroden Miyajimaguchi Station, passing through 39 stations for about 75 minutes. If you purchase a one-day PASS or a two-day PASS that includes a ferry ticket, you can choose to take the tram if you are not in a hurry. I chose to take the streetcar to enjoy the city scenery and experience local life. After the streetcar arrives at Hiroden-Nishi-Hiroshima Station, it will transfer from the original street track to the general railway line. I feel deeply that the speed is obviously faster and faster after boarding the railway line. smooth. Then go to the ferry port to buy a ticket for ¥200 and a Miyajima sightseeing tax of ¥100 (if you have a PASS, you also need to pay for the Miyajima sightseeing tax). Choosing the JR West Ferry route to and from Miyajima is closer to the Otorii gate. It is more convenient to take pictures of the Otorii gate on the sea. The flight takes about 10 minutes to Miyajima. It takes about 15 minutes to walk slowly from the ferry port to Itsukushima Shrine. There are many wild deer along the road (please do not feed them). When you arrive at the entrance of Itsukushima Shrine, you can purchase a ticket for ¥300 to enter. The worship route is one-way and you can enter the shrine. Stroll around but don’t go back. It is generally believed that Itsukushima Shrine was first founded in Nishihara 593 in the Asuka Period of Japan and has a history of more than 1,400 years. It prays for "safe navigation" and "wealth". Following the pilgrimage route, you will be able to admire the red corridor, worship hall, flat stage, high stage and main hall. The vermilion corridor is the biggest feature. When the tide is high, you can see the entire shrine floating on the sea. scene. Check the high and low tide times before setting off. Wait quietly on the shore for low tide and then walk to the big torii gate. As time goes by, you will see the water level gradually recede until the beach is exposed. Walk a short distance below the big torii gate. Safety. After the visit, walk back from the Miyajima Omotesando shopping street behind Itsukushima Shrine. It is clean and has no seafood smell. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops where you can taste the famous oyster dishes. This is probably the best oyster I have ever eaten. , fresh and no peculiar smell, you can taste the salty taste of the sea, the price is very affordable and there is no problem of being particularly expensive. The salty street snacks of freshly fried red leaf steamed buns and cheese oysters are delicious. Finally, we took a boat back to Miyajima Gate. I recommend it to everyone. If you travel to Hiroshima, you must visit Miyajima.
