Question

I'm planning to take my 80-year-old mother to Itsukushima Shrine around autumn. We'll be exploring for 2 nights and 3 days, so please let me know the places that are definitely worth seeing. My mother writes haiku as a hobby, so she says that anything can be a subject, but are there any spots that give a sense of the season?

If you are going to Miyajima in Aki, we recommend the Miyajima Grand Hotel Arimoto located on Itsukushima. It is the closest Ryokan (Japanese inn) to Itsukushima Shrine. The recommended tourist spot in the area is Breathtaking view of the Seto Islands, which can be reached by taking the ropeway to the top.

I recommend the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima. It is a beautiful and easy-to-use hotel located in the pleasant environment of the Seto Inland Sea. I think it is well worth staying at for multiple nights. It takes just under 30 minutes by high-speed boat from the pier in front of the hotel to get to Miyajima in Aki. The view is great, and the food is delicious, with Buffet of local ingredients such as oysters, so I highly recommend it.

The first recommended accommodation is the Aki Grand Hotel, located opposite Itsukushima Shrine. It is Ryokan (Japanese inn) with hot springs. Aside from the shrine, the recommended tourist spot on Itsukushima is the view of the islands of Setouchi from the top of the mountain. The view of Setouchi is also written about in the Hyakunin Isshu.

The five-section wooden Kintai Bridge is right in front of the hotel. The bridge spanning the clear waters of the Nishiki River is worth crossing at least once in your life. In the summer, cormorant fishing is held here, offering a unique atmosphere. In addition, during the fireworks festival, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama that colors the night sky.

I love history · Answer

We recommend this hotel on Miyajima. The hotel mainly features Japanese-style rooms, and you can see the large torii gate from the spacious and tasteful public bath. The Japanese drum demonstration incorporating light effects is a must-see, and the delicate Japanese Japanese food made with local ingredients such as oysters in winter and conger eel in summer is a feast for the eyes and the mouth. It is also close to Itsukushima Shrine and the sightseeing boat dock, so we recommend taking a night cruise.
