- Japan travel guide to what to do and eat in Miyajima, Hiroshima in a day!
Hiroshima is near the bottom of the main island Honshu and a must visit when coming to Hiroshima is the island Itsukushima, more popularly known as Miyajima. It’s one of Japan’s top 3 scenic sights, most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water.
Miyajima island is also a great place for a day trip from the Kansai region like Kyoto and Osaka but I would recommend staying in Hiroshima for a few days to explore Hiroshima city and another day for Miyajima island.
I started my trip off at Hiroshima station and took a 25 minute train ride to JR Miyajima-guchi station.
From there it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the ferry terminal where you will take a 10 minute ferry ride to go to Miyajima island.
Places visited:
Itsukushima Shrine and the “floating tori gate”
Omotesando Shopping Street
Momiji Bridge
Daisho-in Temple
Senjokaku and the 5 story Pagoda

The background music!
Thank youuuu!!!
Thank you! It sounded so familiar. This showed up as the top comment for me, saving me from having to research it. :)
Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're having a good week! Chill video for this beautiful island :) Let me know what other places you want to see too! ↓
Fantastic video. Always look forward to your video's.
Thx for the video! :)
Is there a special reason for the Spirited Away music reference?
cat island and bunny island🙋🙋🙋
wow hiroshima! my fave place :) last time i wrote down a comment in one of your vid.. "Itsukushima Shrine".. i forgot what video of yours :)
i want to say this before my comment gets buried but I love love your videos!! You show a lot of places in Japan that I didn't know I wanted to visit plus the atmosphere around you is so calming it puts me at ease as well. i hope you continue to make videos and show more interesting places in japan! (esp outside of Tokyo hehe)
Hi Faith :) Thank you for the early and very sweet comment. As a content creator, nothing makes me happier than to hear that some one enjoys my videos! Will continue to make content and improve as I go. Appreciate the support and hope you can visit Japan some time soon
internationally ME
Do you know where I could get in contact with the Japanese government?
(I couldn't find the official website?) 😭
I love Hiroshima. The first I came here and then I fell in love with this city.
THE MUSIC ... how dare you hit me in the feels like this !!
The Spirited Away background music gave me too many feels!! LOVE ME SOME GHIBLI
Just got back from Japan and visited tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I have to return to see more and also visit Hiroshima 💙😍🇯🇵🇦🇺
Wow The Spirated Away music really got me
Every time I watch one of your videos, Angela, I want to cry T^T
They make me so happy! Everyone can agree that you do amazing work and we appreciate it!
The lady giving the backstory on the maple castella was very nice :)
And I love hearing you speak Japanese ♥^♥ It's very inspiring :D
Love you ^^ Can't wait to see your next video!
I visit this island twice and still want to comeback , love the slow walk every mornings and enjoy the early morning look to sunrise and sunset in the evening . You need 2 or 3 days here relaxing and explore this island . My first visit in 2017 then 5 years later I comeback 2022. ❤
The music made it so nostalgic and beautiful for me xD ♡♡♡♡
I'm so hooked on your videos right now. I love that you show these non touristy places. I'm the kind of person who appreciates the subtleties of things and so I feel like you're showing the subtleties of Japan. But that's not to say that your videos aren't also fun and beautiful, which they are. Keep it up.
Thank you!! I love the lesser known areas so I'm glad you like them too!
I got a bit distracted by the Music. Love Ghibli!
Me too! I was so absorbed by the music!
Eniale94 me too! Can you tell me what song it is? I can't remember!
It's from Spirited Away :)
I have the dvd next to me xD
My hometown!!!!!!!
I miss Hiroshima....
oh my goddd that ending where you talking to a deer is PRICELESS!!! you are so kind and cheerful, thank you for bringing us high quality videos everytime!! :D
i'm going to japan next week i hope we can meet!!!
Absolutely amazing video. Miyajima is one of the places I most want to visit. It looks so magical and beautiful, just wonderfully enchanting. The deer are also adorable. Thank you for making such wonderful videos, they are truly inspiring.
This video inspired me to visit Hiroshima someday! I never knew such beautiful place existed... thank you ❤❤❤ hope u upload more videos like these!!!!!😭😭😭
I visited at this time, last year. (in 2019). I stayed at the Hotel Park Side Hiroshima (www.park-side.co.jp/english/), very affordable and only a short walk to Peace Park. Allow yourself plenty of time to visit, because even the bus ride from the airport to the bus/Shinkasen station is a 45 minute ride. And yes, the little time I spent on the island was wonderful. Take the young lady seriously when she talks about low tide. I arranged my visit to the Grand Torii/Floating Torii at what I thought was low tide, but it wasn't low enough. I was not able to walk out to the torii. After taking pictures, I walked around the town while I waited for my next ferry (which docks very close to the Atomic Dome). If you go, please enjoy your stay.
ありがとうございました。* For this FANTASTIC video. With so much Gratitude for the experience to be so close to the Otorii Gate in low tide. One of many JEWELS of this blessed country.
You're so adorable. I lived in Fukuoka Japan for a couple of years. Your videos are great because you show real Japan not just anime and goofy things. Thanks for sharing the real thing. Hope to run into you sometime if I go back to Japan. :)
Miyajima is my little island paradise and I have so many good memories of it, I long to visit again.
I used to live in Hiroshima, and after moving, we would go back there every year to spend New Year's Eve at my grandparents'. So many memories.
By the way, where did you get the Spirited Away music, Angela?
Ohhh really?! I didn't know you use to live there ;O
Soundcloud. Check the title in my description!
I visited Hiroshima including a one day trip to Miyajima/Itsukushima last spring and can only agree. I'd also recommend taking the rope ways and then walk to the summit for the amazing view of Hiroshima and the Japanese Inland Sea.
Hiroshima😍😍😍
Hiroshima has a lot of delicious food Okonomiyaki, oyster and momizi manju …etc
Come japan！Come hiroshima!
I love your videography. I love your choice of music (Ghibli for life!).
When I visited Japan all those years ago, Hiroshima was so unforgettable. It was a magical place.
The Peace Park made me cry but also gave me hope whilst Miyajima mesmerised me. This is so nostalgic.
Wow I was there just yesterday!
Something to note is that you can use the JR pass to get to Miyajimaguchi and also on the JR ferry.
But if you don't have the JR pass the line for the other ferry seemed a lot shorter and maybe less crowded.
I didn't get to see as much as you did. I only saw Itsukushima shrine and Omotesando, so I am very thankful for this video.
God, those oysters were so good, I am ruined for oysters forever now. I don't think any others will even stand close to them.
Cheers
Wow talk about timing! Was it crowded when you went on a weekday?
Nice tips about the JR pass :)
I would say there were probably half as many people by the looks of it. And I was there at probably one of the busier times 3-6pm.
Btw, there are lockers at the train station.
I am moving to Shimonoseki this Sunday! I will definitely visit Miyajima since it is very close. Thank you for the great tips👍🏻
I really like the music in the background
That Ghibli piano music made this entire video 100 times more enjoyable. Thanks for such a good choice!
I’ve never visited Hiroshima but I have been wanting to!
THE SNAZZY SPIRITED AWAY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE IT
I guess this means a return trip to Hiroshima.
..wow! such a perfect paradise.... i can't wait to be dr..
Hiroshima, such a historical place with atomic bomb tragedy.I'm just hoping that you can share video on Nagasaki soon and share us about the atomic tragedy base on people around there.
Really nice soundtrack. Great choice and great video!
spirited away
Thanks for your hard work filming your videos. The atmosphere of the island was quite relaxing, so I feel like a nap now ! ha ha
this background makes me sad.... i'll will forever miss ghibli studios ;-;
Two new movies this year!
こうやって日本を紹介してくれて、それに海外の人がいろいろ反応してるのを見るのはワクワクするし嬉しいよね
これからも頑張って下さい〜
ご視聴ありがとうございます＾＾そう言って頂いて嬉しいです！これからも頑張ります！
I loved that you used the music from Spirited Away in your video. While in Hiroshima, did you visit the peace memorial park? I would love to see your video of that.
Thnx for the awesome video. I’ll definitely stay a night at the island when I visit ☺️
Hi Angela, if you are in Europe one day just let me know. I can show you around.
At Miyajima, there are beautiful hiking trails as well !! ☝
what type of camera do you use?
Panasonic Lumix GH4 or GH5, I'm guessing
the lanterns were amazing.also the outro was good.
How the country and the people could be so beautiful in japan
I actually love Japan.
OMG, I like your videos very much. Keep going and show us more fun places
Sister this is wordless beauty
Nice place to visit. I wish I can visit that place someday. I really like your videos.
Thanks for all the information. Really enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the video Angela! It's definitely a place to visit, especially for those cutie deers hahaha
such a beautiful place
I miss Hiroshima...especially the okonomiyaki there!
Yasss Angela!!! Your videos keeps getting better and better! The history, sights and beauty of this place is amazing!
This video is beautiful. You have convinced me to visit this amazing island :)
Your videos are so helpful and great to watch. And its also satisfying hearing a kiwi japanese accent :) i am going to Itsukushima in a couple weeks. Now i know where i need to go on the island. どのありがとう
Your videos are always fun to watch. Next time when I quit my job, the only thing I want to do is to travel to Japan.
This was a very nice film thank you from Australia
Great video. Informative, while using the most soothing music on You Tube.
that spirited away song in the background!!!
Good video I liked it the most waiting for the next video
Japan is just so beautiful!
Awesome video Angela! You never disappoint.
I really want to visit Hiroshima and roam around from morning till evening and just get lost in my thoughts.
Looking forward to more incredible content that I know you'll deliver. :)
Wooow I've been there3 times and didn't know that there was an Aquarium there oooo yeah My wife says that you have a very soothing voice that's one the reasons we enjoy watching your videos
Awesome video, I enjoyed this video and it’s valuable
Thanks so much for showing this beautiful place. I particularly noticed at 6:16 there is unique icon hardly found these days anywhere. Yes, the traditional red post box on the street. I also enjoyed how locals tell stories and their traditions. Just momiji manju has such wonderful story behind. Travelling is really about getting to know the locals, specialty, and traditional culture.
I love those maple leaf snacks!!
This is where exactly i got my idea of going to Miyajima on the summer of last year. I had sooo much fun. 😊
I'm a huge fan. Love seeing your vlogs. You made me feel in love with Japan. I don't usually watch travel videos/vlogs but yours is interesting, I never get bored and I love you for explaining and giving us tips and directions with histories. And I love the music you put in your videos, and this one specially as it's the familiar music from the anime. Thank you.
+internationally ME I just wanted to thank you for this and your other videos. I just came back from my first trip to Japan and I went with many of your suggestions. I also saw that '7 minutes if you run a little' sign'. That was pretty funny. I was lucky enough get to Miyajima at the end of high tide so I was able to see the floating gate as I arrived and was able to walk out to it as I was leaving. For anyone planning to go, the grilled oysters were amazing and the okonomiyaki was really good (but super filling)
This video completely convinced me to add Miyajima to my itinerary and stay overnight too, can't wait :)
Unmistakingly Japan. Very neat place
Thank you for another great video! I appreciate your hard, dedicated work. Thank you!
You're videos helped me plan my trip to Tokyo,and it was amazing!! You're videos are so great and so helpful and make me miss Japan so much!i can't wait to go back and use you're incredible advice! Keep it up :) and thank you!
Going to Japan in July. I haven't been there in 8 years. We're definitely spending a day in Miyajima.
Thank you very much I will visit the island in July , so that is so helpfulk
Love the spirited away sound track in the background
I like this video for 2 secondary-reason:
1) The audio of the voice of Hiroshima station at the beginning
2) The theme of 千と千尋の神隠し ("Spirited Away" or "La città incantata" in Italy)
Well done.
Really nice video. I miss Japan
Wonderful. It reminds me of my visit to this lovely island in 2007. And, today is Hiroshima day !
Because of your video, i decided to visit miyajima next month, i was lucky that i was able to booked a hostel within the island.
The deer use subtlety in eyes and ears to gesture. It would be neat to know the places to go for a textile tour in Japan. The making of traditional textiles of Japan.
Thank-you. I'm travelling to Japan next year and my last stop is Hiroshima. And I am looking forward to visiting Miyajima .
I love your chanel !! Im currently in Hiroshima and going to the island tomorrow.
Thanks for showing how to get there and the fun things to see and eat.
great video, carefully depicting all the beautiful scenes in Hiroshima. I loved it!!
Definitely a highlight of my trip to Japan. Would love to go back & spend a couple of nights in one of the island's ryokans & take more time to explore the whole beautiful island.
Thank you very much for this and all of your videos. I am planning a trip to Japan for next October and your videos are proving very helpful to help me decide how to plan my itineraries. Keep up the good work!
so nice, thank you
I can't believe I just found this channel it's so fantastic - I wish I had found it before my trip to Japan!
nice video, planning my trip to Hiroshima, but the music, girl! made me cry that Spirited Away OST.
That would have been a great place to go after my visit to the Genbaku and the Peace Park.
It is on my list for my next visit, in 2025.
Great video Angela! Music was nostalgic. Looking forward to your next videos. 🇦🇺🇯🇵
Very cute ending.
I love this. Brings back memories of my trip to Miyajima
That moment you hear the music and your Ghibli-heart is happy :') Interesting video, as always ^-^
First video I’ve seen and enjoyed it 👍
Nice video. I liked the way you asked the deer to say bye...... so cute.
I had a bit of a freak out at the music at first, I love Ghibli music so much!
I have another place to add to my list to visit in Japan now, one day I'll be able to afford this trip
Love that "Spirited Away" music. Great videos, keep up the great work girl...
i will visit Japan oneday but its so hard to know what to visit. Its so many good places to see over the whole country. i like to see culture history foods onsen and much more must figure out how long i should stay. awsome channel helps alot=)
