Japan/Honshu: Miyajima Island Ferry

When visiting Hiroshima, it’s a must do to take a train to Miyajima station and then a ferry across the bay to the Miyajima Island and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Itsukushima Shrine and the world famous giant “floating” torii gate. The ferries run almost every hour and it’s a scenic ride with the ferry approaching the torii gate from the water before docking at the Miyajima Island.
