ACTIVITY
Discover Miyajima’s Oyster Culture from the Sea
Set out by boat onto the waters off Miyajima to witness the landing of Hiroshima’s famous oysters up-close. Take a rare close look at the oyster fishing process, including oyster rafts being hauled from the sea and oysters being shucked. The breathtaking view of Miyajima, Itsukushima Shrine and the great torii gate standing in the sea are sights that can only be seen from the water. Following a demonstration of the boat being unloaded, this special activity allows you to savour Miyajima’s maritime and culinary culture over a lunch featuring freshly harvested oysters.
