How to get to Miyajima
Miyajima can be reached from Hiroshima in less than an hour by train and ferry or by high speed boat. See also how to get to Hiroshima.
By train and ferry
From JR Hiroshima Station, take the JR Sanyo Line to Miyajimaguchi Station. The trip takes about 25 minutes and costs 400 Yen. Alternatively, you can take the tram line number 2 bound for Miyajimaguchi. The tram is slower, but costs only 270 Yen and stops on the way in Hiroshima's city center.
From Miyajimaguchi Station, it is just a few steps to the ferry pier. Frequently departing ferries take 10 minutes and cost 170 Yen for the crossing to Miyajima. There are two companies operating the ferries, JR and Matsudai. The Japan Rail Pass is valid on JR ferries.
By direct boat
Boats also connect Miyajima directly with Hiroshima Peace Park (55 minutes, 1900 Yen one way, 3-9 round trips per day) and Hiroshima Port (30 minutes, 1460 Yen one way, 6-8 round trips per day).
Above fees and schedules are subject to change. For the current Yen exchange rate, click here.
Orientation
Most of Miyajima's attractions are clustered around Itsukushima Shrine, which itself is a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry pier.
