【STORY】

Experience the enchanting allure of Miyajima, a World Heritage island, as you gaze upon the iconic red shrine gate standing majestically in the sea.
Embark on a lunch cruise aboard Japan's only raft-style lounge ship, HANAIKADA, and enjoy approximately 90 minutes of dining at sea. Create unforgettable memories with your loved ones before an afternoon stroll on Miyajima.

■ Japan's Only Raft-style Lounge Ship, HANAIKADA
Launched in 2020, HANAIKADA is a one-of-a-kind ship, resembling a raft that floats in the waters off Miyajima. With a concept of a raft-like structure close to the sea surface, it features a glass-encased building and terrace area, creating a space for 12 passengers surrounded by the serene atmosphere typical of the Seto Inland Sea.
Navigating on this ship, you'll feel integrated with the Seto Inland Sea. Step onto the terrace, feel the sea breeze, and savor the tranquil moments, forgetting the hustle and bustle of daily life

■ Experiencing Miyajima's Divine Presence from the Sea
Have you heard that Miyajima is known as the "Island Where Gods Reside"? This title reflects Japan's deep respect for nature, where it's believed that the tradition of prayer originated from sensing the island's spiritual energy. Miyajima itself is regarded as a sacred entity, and the construction of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine on the sea was intended to preserve its sanctity.

While Miyajima is renowned for its iconic shrine gate, the breathtaking vista encompassing the gate, Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, and the island itself is a sight reserved exclusively for those on the sea. Contrasted with the larger ferries traversing to Miyajima, HANAIKADA provides an intimate encounter, bringing you closer to the gate with subdued engines and a perspective that almost touches the sea's surface. Seize the opportunity to capture this extraordinary moment with a photograph against the backdrop of the shrine gate, immersing yourself in the natural energy of this sacred site.
