Ancient Charm Views🌞

Exploring Hatsukaichi, Onomichi, Tarragona, and Shelly Beach is a wild mix of ancient shrines and beachy vibes 🌊⛩️. The highlight? Witnessing the iconic large torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine that seems to float on water—truly Insta-worthy! Top Spots to Visit: 1. Itsukushima Jinja—Hatsukaichi Address: 1-1 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima 739-0588, Japan Opening hours change seasonally (Mar 1–Oct 14: 6:30 AM–6:00 PM, Dec: 6:30 AM–5:00 PM)—plan to visit early for fewer crowds! The shrine and its massive torii gate are located on a mystical island in Hiroshima Bay. Pro tip: Catch the ferry from Miyajimaguchi and time your visit for high tide to see the gate “floating”—it’s pure magic! 2. Itsukushima Shrine—Onomichi Address: Onomichi, Hiroshima 722-2102, Japan Onomichi’s shrine offers a quieter, local experience. Wander the town’s slopes and alleys for hidden temples and cozy cafés. Getting Around: Japan’s rail system is seamless for hopping between Hatsukaichi and Onomichi. Take the ferry for Itsukushima Island—buy tickets at Miyajimaguchi pier. Food Rec: Don’t skip fresh oysters in Miyajima, or Onomichi ramen near the station—super local eats! Plus, snag a snack from street vendors near the shrine. Travel Tips: No special visa needed for most travelers (check country requirements). Bring cash; small shops don’t always take cards. Weather in Hiroshima is best Mar–May and Oct–Nov—layer up! #shrinevibes #japantravel #miyajimamagic #beachescape #foodiejapan
