Highlights
Discover Miyajima’s sacred seascape on a private charter cruise from Miyahama Onsen. In a 1-hour one-way or 1h20 round-trip voyage, experience a maritime pilgrimage to Itsukushima Shrine, viewing its towering 16m torii from the water (tide permitting) and performing the traditional two bows, two claps, one bow. Cruise the Ōno Seto sea route to observe oyster rafts and learn about Hiroshima’s oyster cultivation, enjoy coastal scenery where traces of Yayoi-period dwellings remain, and admire Mt. Misen’s primeval forest and reclining Kannon silhouette. The tour also visits two of Miyajima’s “Seven Seaside Shrines” — Suyaura and Mitoko (the latter marking the deity’s temporary enshrinement; note its distinctive cracked-rock crest). Calm Seto Inland waters make for a peaceful, reflective sail. Please check tide schedules for best viewing; 1% of sales supports mountain safety and environmental conservation.

About Hiroshima
Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.
Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
Top-ranked sights in Hiroshima: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Miyajima Island (Itsukushima).
