The nearby island of Miyajima has enjoyed a sacred status since ancient times. No one was allowed to be born or die there. The island is home to the majestic Itsukushima Shinto shrine, built on stilts. Near it, Japan's oldest Noh theater stage is still kept for visitors. Out in the bay, there is a so-called “floating torii”, a separate gate to the temple, built by Shogun Taira Kiyomori’s order to serve as the sea entrance to the sanctuary. The view of Itsukushima Shrine is officially considered one of the three most beautiful landscapes in Japan. The entire shrine area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
At the end of the trip, you will transfer to the station and take a Shinkansen train to Osaka to return to your hotel.

Locals say Tengu, the long-nosed, winged mountain demons, still roam its slopes — tricksters who guard the sacred realm of Mt. Takao. Their red faces glare from temple carvings and souvenir masks, reminders that this mountain is not just a hiking spot, but a place where myth still breathes.
