  • Shishi'iwa Observatory Observatory
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Pref. Hatsukaichishi Miyajimachou
    An observatory on holy Mt. Misen on the island of Miyajima in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture just a short distance from Miyajima Ropeway Shishiiwa Station. The view from this precipitous cliff is spectacular, and you can see Hiroshima Port, Kure Port, Itsukushima Strait, and the island of Akinada. You can also watch the ships plying the waters of the port; the contrast of the seasonal natural beauty of the area and the blue of the sea is a must-see. There is a trail leading from the station to the Reikado and Misen Observatory, giving visitors the chance to enjoy a little mountain hiking as well.

  • Machiya Street
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Hatsukaichi-shi Miyajimacho
    This is one of three streets which connect the Miyajima ferry pier and Itsukushima Shrine. This particular street was the main thoroughfare when Miyajima was at its most prosperous. The traditional townhomes along the street have had modern touches added onto them, and the street is dotted with old-fashioned mom-and-pop businesses and private homes, as well as retro-modern lodging facilities, shops, and galleries. Itsukushima Shine’s magnificent five-story pagoda stands at the end of the street. Today, the street is primarily used by local residents as part of everyday life. At night, the street is illuminated by the light of paper lanterns installed under the eaves of the various establishments along its length, engendering a romantic atmosphere quite different from how the street feels in the daytime.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
