Explore Miyajima Seven Shrines by Cruiser

Why choose this Hiroshima tour ?

Discover the charm of circling around the World Heritage island of Miyajima! Embark on a sea journey around Miyajima aboard a comfortable cruiser. Departing from Miyahama Onsen on the opposite side of Miyajima, you will circumnavigate the island, paying visits to Itsukushima-jinja Shrine and the seven shrines from the sea.

The surroundings of Miyajima boast a size approaching the top 10 among the Seto Inland Sea’s 700 islands, covering about 30 km. While Miyajima is strongly associated with Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, along its coastline, numerous shrines (commonly known as Nanaura Shrines) are scattered. The practice of visiting these shrines in the seven inlets is known as Nanaura Meguri.

The Nanaura Meguri has a history dating back 1500 years, serving as a ritual for purifying the mind and body. Embark on this journey, and think about the individuals who shaped Japan’s history.
