While the eastern side of Miyajima, with Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, is considered the cultural zone, the western side, the location for this plan, is the natural zone, where ancient untouched nature remains. Observing the unspoiled west coast gives a sense of why Miyajima has been referred to as a place where "gods reside." This is likely the same scenery that Kukai (Kobo Daishi), Monk of the Heian Period(794-1180), and Oda Nobunaga once admired on Miyajima.
Moreover, the cruise includes a sea visit to one of the Nanaura-jinja Shrines (Seven Shrines), the Mitoko-jinja Shrine. It is considered a sacred place where a deity was temporarily enshrined during the construction of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine. Enjoy the charm of Miyajima different from the bustling tourist spots.
The approximately 90-minute cruise is accompanied by a lunch, creating a vibrant time with the combination of the sea's location and cuisine.
