What Is a 4-Hour Private Miyajima Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. They requested a full four-hour guided tour of Miyajima, so we arranged to meet at the ferry terminal.

Since it was low tide in the morning, we first walked out to the Great Torii Gate, where the guests took many photos with the torii.

They were very impressed with Daishoin Temple and told me that everyone should come to this temple. They purchased many omamori charms as souvenirs.

Everyone loved taking photos, and at Itsukushima Shrine as well they each took a great many pictures.

All of the guests enjoyed oysters, so I ended the tour by taking them to an oyster restaurant.

Since they planned to take the ropeway up Mount Misen after the tour, I shared information about the ropeway, which they greatly appreciated. At the end we said goodbye with handshakes and hugs.
