Itsukushima Jinja
The architectural beauty of the shrine “floating” on the water earned Itsukushima Jinja the title of World Heritage Site. Its ever-famous big tori (gate) standing directly on the water can be viewed from anywhere on the island, making a perfect companion with the cherry blossoms.

Taho-to
The view of cherry blossoms at Taho-to is particularly popular for the red of the two-storied pagoda combining with the pink of the cherry blossoms. A short walk on the path leads you to an elevated point, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Taho-to and a big tori together with the ocean in the back.

Enjoying cherry blossoms from a rickshaw
On Miyajima, a popular sightseeing spot always bustling with domestic and foreign visitors, rickshaw rides are also available. Getting around in a rickshaw to enjoy the cherry blossoms may be a good option, as the driver navigates you through the island sharing an abundance of information. After the ride, you will find yourself well-informed about the island and cherry blossoms.

Omotesando Shopping Street
Entry to Omotesando Shopping Street lies between the ferry stop and Itsukushima Jinja. There are about 70 shops along the street, ranging from an eatery serving Miyajima’s famous oysters to shops selling sweets and souvenirs. Okino Suisan, among them all, is extremely popular offering the freshest oysters right off the grill. You will not want to leave the island until you had a taste of it.
