Ferry to Miyajima 宮島 フェリー

We left our luggage at the hotel and took the hotel shuttle to the JR station. The ferry terminal was just beside the rail station. Ferry ran about every 15 min. There was a line forming at the berth waiting to board the next ferry.

Miyajima (宮島) literally means the shrine island. The famous shrine on the island is the Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社).

We could actually get a close up shot of the Itsukushima Shrine and the Otorii.

From the ferry terminal, it was about 1km to the Itsukushima Shrine. Along the way, we passed through the Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street where there were many shops and eateries.
