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.
Miyajima Island

Travel / Tourism

Hiroshima Hatsukaichi-shi Miyajimacho

“Miyajima” is the commonly used name for Itsukushima, a small island located near the westernmost tip of Hiroshima Bay. Situated on the sea some 20 kilometers from the heart of Hiroshima City, the oblong island is around 30 kilometers in circumference. In spite of its small size, a range of 500-meter-high mountains stands on the island, and it is dotted with deep valleys, waterfalls, and other natural points of interest. It is counted as one of the three most beautiful areas in Japan, along with Kyoto’s Amanohashidate and Miyagi’s Matsushima islands. And the island’s Itsukushima Shrine, of course, needs no introduction; the embodiment of ancient Heian period style, it is one of Japan’s most famous Shinto shrines and has been designated a World Heritage site.

Hiroshima Areas

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.
