Yakatabune: Miyajima Sanpaiyuransen

The other type is a houseboat or yakatabune. It is a night-only cruise that cruises off shore of Itsukushima Shrine.

Pass under the fantastic Otorii, which is illuminated by lights, while enjoying a close-up view of the shrine (depending on the tide conditions.)

The boat departs from Miyajima No. 3 pier, and the ride is about 30 min.

Reservations must be made at least two hours prior to departure by phone or online.
