Travel better in Miyajima Island with the right person

Go deeper
The best experiences in Miyajima Island — the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot — are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Shrine Etiquette
Bow slightly before passing through the shrine torii gate. At the purification fountain (temizuya), rinse your left hand, then right, then pour water into your left palm and rinse your mouth. Observe quietly and do not step on thresholds.
Respect the Deer
Miyajima's wild deer are sacred Shinto messengers but are truly wild. Do not feed them human food — it damages their health. Keep bags closed as deer will investigate and pull out paper maps, tickets, and food wrappers.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Miyajima Island travel guide.
