I was here twice, one day in November 2008 and one day in April 2013, but I’ve never stayed on the island, because it is very expensive.
Number of days recommended: 1.
My score: 5/5. I would repeat a hundred times a hundred days in a row.

Absolutely in love with Miyajima, in my opinion one of the most beautiful places in Japan and one of the most charming islands I have ever visited.
