Mihara

A very interesting island. We went here in the morning before going to the Hiroshima tour.  This was an absolute surprise, because we thought the Hiroshima tour would be all dour and serious, but the tour of the island balanced it all. The Island has a centuries old temple and a traditional village where you can buy various products of the island. Because we were already hungry as it was lunchtime, we regret not joining the group that hiked all the way up to a hilltop. We missed the most interesting part of the tour. Would give this another trip when we get the chance. The tour guide, Taeko, was very good and detailed in here descriptions and explanations, and was an interesting guide.

Provided a nice balance when combined with a tour of Hiroshima

It’s only a 10 min ferry ride from Hiroshima. Interesting to be able to see the Tori Gate both at high tide and low tide. There are deer there too and they move about freely.
Be sure to try the maple leaf shaped snacks. Very good.

A worthwhile visit.

Easy to get there by train and ferry, all in one ticket from Hiroshima. We ate at Mato Chan a small local place around the back of the shrine. We had a local favorite "okonomi yaki". Very tasty lunch with a historical origin from post WWII time. When war widows made the dish from wheat flour that US GI's gave them. 

Tourist & Cultural island

The streets of the city centre are very nice and full of craft shops and souvenirs. You can try the oysters on the grill! The temple door on the water is beautiful, which makes it famous, very attractive both during the day and at night. We also enjoyed the mountain tour that can be reached by cable car, and then walking for an hour you get to a viewpoint from which you can observe the whole of Hiroshima Bay. We were lucky because the weather was good, otherwise you risk not seeing much from above. You breathe a very relaxed atmosphere.

Surprising.

We took the ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima Island for a day trip. The ferry ride was only 10 min.
On arrival at Miyajima we followed the paths to the right, past a park where deers were wandering freely. The deers showed no fear of humans and came sniffing for food and followed us along the street.
Plenty of souvenir shops along the street as you walk towards the floating Shinto gate.
Miyajima has a very relaxed atmosphere with friendly shopkeepers and beautiful views across the water.
Walking past the gate and the shrine we continued up to the rope way station. An easy walk through trees and waterfalls on a wide path. 
The cable car ride was great with views across the island. At the top station there are magnificent views in all directions. 
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and recommend the trip! Plenty of places to eat or buy a snack and just enjoy the relaxed pace.


MAGNIFICENT MIYAJIMA

This hotel was basic but the rooms were very clean. We stayed in a suite, which looked out onto the strait between two islands and we were able to stand on a little balcony watching the world go by. The suite was made up of a twin bedroom, nice bathroom, spatious lounge and a large kitchen, with cooker, kettle and fridge, however the kitchen was empty of any equipment/utensils. This was clearly the best room option in the hotel, we did not see the normal rooms, but judging by the floor plan the must be tiny. This hotel felt like a well functional hotel providing accomodation mainly to people coming to work at the local industry.
We took the option of booking our evening meal at this hotel, the restaraunt was a bit like a canteen with a choice of either western or japanese set meals, which were fine. The upside of this was that nobody really minded when our 2 yr old daughter had a tantrum over dinner. For breakfast the next day we had toast and coffee.
The highlight of this hotel is the spatious room that comes with a suite, but be aware this is not a fancy hotel at all, but clean and functional.

My husband had planned for us to go to this island when he planned our trip around Japan.... Boy was it worth it. What a lovely place to just mill around, walk by the beach, see some temples and generally enjoy the outdoors. We hired some bikes, they are on the left hand side of the ferry terminal building before you enter the main building (they are really tucked away, no sign, so for us it was a real search). Hire rates are 100 per hour, we hired them for 3 hours and cycled around the island. We managed to get away from the crowds too and enjoy the peacefulness of the island, and burnt some calories to boot! We had a lovely lunch, some great coffee and cakes. Everything was so effortless, the train to the ferry port, boarding the ferry, coming back all well organised. We would definitely go again.
