Riding a Ferry to Miyajima (Itsukushima) Island, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

Miyajima Island is located south of Hiroshima City in Japan. Miyajima Island, also called as Itsukushima Island, is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Itsukushima Island has the Itsukushima Jinja Shrine. This Shrine's Torii is built in the water and in high tide it looks like it is floating in water. It is the highlight of this Island.

The Ferry to Miyajima Island is operated by Japan Railways (JR). Japan Railways, in addition to operating a big chunk of the railways inside Japan also operates Bus routes and Ferry routes. There is also another Ferry company right alongside JR Ferry but if you are a foreign visitor and have a Japan Rail Pass, take JR Ferry.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the visit to the Island. Hope you do too.

Enjoy.
