Jam-Packed Regional Tour (Miyajima→Kintaikyo Bridge→Shirakabe Historical District)
Visitors can take a tour that combines Miyajima, home to Itsukushima Shrine, famed for its red torii shrine gate; the beautiful wooden structure of Kintaikyo Bridge, counted as one of Japan’s three greatest bridges; and the Shirakabe historical district of Yanai, where the rows of merchants’ houses from the Edo period remain striking even today.

To add a little taste of regional exploration to your stay, we recommend these two spots.
