Miyajima World Heritage Torii Kayak Tour
This unique sea kayaking tour offers a rare view of the iconic Great Torii of Itsukushima Shrine from the water—an unforgettable perspective shaped by the dramatic rise and fall of the tides. Paddle through calm coastal waters with a small group and an experienced local guide, soaking in the spiritual atmosphere and scenic beauty of Miyajima. Depending on conditions, you may also go ashore to stroll local shopping streets and visit historic temples. (Please note: going ashore is subject to tide and weather conditions.)
