Hiroshima best things to do and what to see

Local interview notes

Miyajima, located in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and renowned as one of Japan's Three Scenic Views. Its iconic vermilion Grand Torii Gate standing in the sea marks the entrance to Itsukushima Shrine, a symbol of spiritual significance and architectural beauty. The island is also adorned with historical structures like Mount Misen, the Five-Story Pagoda, Senjokaku (Toyokuni Shrine), and the Daishoin Temple, harmonizing with the lush natural surroundings.

Itsukushima Shrine, originally founded by Prince Shotoku, was relocated to its current site under the patronage of Taira no Kiyomori, where the magnificent main hall was constructed. Over time, it has been revered by generations, with figures like Toyotomi Hideyoshi contributing to its cultural legacy by constructing the Senjokaku Hall. Miyajima continues to captivate visitors from around the globe, offering a timeless blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty.
