【STORY】
Cruise from Miyahama Onsen, enjoy a 1.5-hour Seto Inland Sea cruise with a final stop at Miyajima.
It's the perfect plan for a luxurious Miyajima tour.
Enjoy an exhilarating sea trip cruising the waters around Miyajima, including a visit to Itsukushima-jinja Shrine at sea with a great approach to the Otorii (Grand Gate).
*You can also choose the reverse course, “Miyajima→Miyahama Onsen”. This is recommended for those who check in at Miyahama Onsen after sightseeing at Miyajima.
■Exciting Cruise Towards Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, Across Oyster Rafts!
The highlight of the cruise is undoubtedly the World Heritage Itsukushima-jinja Shrine.
As the island itself is considered divine, the shrine was built above the sea to avoid displeasing the gods. Therefore, there's significant meaning in paying homage from the sea.
During high tide, you can even approach the Great Shrine gate by cruiser. Experience a special visit from the sea.
*This plan includes a complimentary drone video.
*The video will be sent to your registered email address by the next day.
Additionally, there are plenty of attractions beyond Itsukushima-jinja Shrine.
Enjoy the scenic view of oyster rafts, a famous Hiroshima delicacy, and the mysterious shrines called Nanaura-jinja Shrines scattered around Miyajima's perimeter.
From Itsukushima-jinja Shrine's coast, you may even catch a glimpse of the "Sleeping Buddha" formed by the island's peaks.
■Experience the Extraordinary Aboard the Cruiser!
The charm of cruising lies in its exhilaration. The sensation of slicing through the waves with the wind in your face is unlike anything you'll experience in daily life.
Captain Tsukamoto Masahiko recommends the premium seats on the second-floor helm. Not only does your line of sight elevate, but the exhilaration is doubled too! This pleasant feeling is something you must experience firsthand. Furthermore, you can lounge on the deck, toast with wine you bring along, and indulge in various extraordinary experiences during the approximately 1.5-hour cruise.
*Feel free to bring your own food and beverages.
