Join Miyajima kayak tours!
We are based on Miyajima Island and the owner was born in Hiroshima. We know Miyajima and Hiroshima inside out and will take you to the best places in all four seasons.
We offer year-round tours to the island of Miyajima, where you can swim at the Secret Beach and visit the Torii Gate from the sea. Since ancient times, the magnificence of Miyajima has attracted many travellers. Why not see the view of Miyajima from the sea, just like the travellers of the past?
Hiroshima is also a beautiful city with a river flowing through the city centre, we excursion on the river in Hiroshima City only during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. And sometimes we have day trips to a quiet lake in the mountains an hour north of Hiroshima City for paddling.
Come and see, and join Miyajima Kayaka’s unique tours!
Best Things to do in Itsukushima ?
Itsukushima, commonly known as Miyajima, is a World Heritage Site. Although attention tends to focus on the shrines and torii gates, the island is actually rich in nature, with a circumference of 30km. Thanks to religious beliefs that have kept the island from development, the island is covered with virgin forest and many beaches remain. The environment around Miyajima is also very special. There are more than 150 islands in Hiroshima Prefecture and Miyajima is surrounded by them.
If you are tired of travelling or city life, the best thing to do in Miyajima is to get in touch with nature and relax. Hike to the top of Misen (over 500m) to admire the beauty of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Alternatively, hire a bicycle to get away from the city and visit quiet fishing villages and beautiful beaches.
And relaxing in a kayak might be one of the best things to do in Itsukushima.

To Miyajima from Hiroshima
Miyajima is very close from Downtown Hiroshima. But Miyajima is a island, so you can access here only by ferry or boats. From JR Hiroshima station, It takes about 45 minutes via train and ferry. From Peace Memorial Park, the same time by the direct boat to Miyajima.
What to bring for kayaking
Tours are available throughout the year, and we have gears and clothing rental ready for you. Just bring yourserf!

Our family of four - 2 parents and 2 teenagers - had a great couple of hours with Solène, kayaking through the Torii Gate and then on to a couple of beaches. Solène was really friendly, explaining some of the history of the island to us. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy Miyajima, especially in the August heat and I would thoroughly recommend.

We hadden een fijne middag met Solène tijdens onze kayaktocht! Het was zalig om op deze manier de rode toegangspoort en de natuur van Miyajima te ontdekken. Solène gaf ons wat toelichting en liet ons vooral ook genieten van het water … het was ‘werken’ maar ook genieten! Een aanrader om dit stukje cultuur en natuur op een andere manier te ontdekken!!

My wife and I along with our two kids took a 2-3 hour kayaking session with Solène in the afternoon, along with a Belgian couple. It was awesome. Solène was great, took some cool pictures and gave us interesting tidbits of intel about the area around Miyajima, while also giving us all the required space to enjoy amongst ourselves. The stops on the beaches were fantastic. It was just intense enough to be thoroughly enjoyable for everyone. Absolutely recommended!

Un moment de plaisir en bonne compagnie
Le groupe n’était composé que de deux petites familles de 3 personnes. Avec deux guides. Du coup un groupe avec une guide parlant français « Solene » et un groupe en anglais.
Si vous êtes de passage cet été et que vous parlez français. Profitez de sa présence temporaire . Ça vous permettra d’avoir
Un bon moment de détente dans votre langue. Ce qui est assez rare au Japon.
En outre, tout est bien organisé avec des instructions précises avant l’activité. Par contre nous pensions faire du Kayak autour du Tori flottant mais en fait nous avons visité des plages désertes inaccessibles sans embarcation. Top! Gare aux coups de soleil. Prévoyez un chapeau et de quoi vous baigner.
Activité à recommander pour tous ceux qui dorment une nuit sûr miyajima et qui ont déjà beaucoup visité dans les villes japonaises.

This was a wonderful experience and something we would both definitely recommend. Shin was a great host and took us on a lovely route in the kayak. It was a joy to be out on the water away from the crowds and we even stopped off at an empty beach (apart from the deer) where we could go for a swim. I could not recommend this more highly. Thanks Shin. 🦌☀️😁

We had a wonderful kayak tour with Alex! The reservation process was very easy, and we had a change of timing, the communication was great. We were lucky to be on Miyajima Island when the tide was high enough to go right up to the magnificent Torii gate. We also paddled around the bay, looking at oyster farming areas and the natural beauty of the places where tourists can’t go. We were safe and well taken care of!! Thank you for a great outing!

This is s wonderful tour of a part of Miyajima Island that most people don't visit. It's a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery and tranquillity of being on the water. Our guide Shin was a wealth of information on so many topics. There were only two people on my tour and I was a foreigner and the other a young Japanese woman. I was very impressed with how Shin kept both of us engaged and chatted easily. Thank you for a wonderful morning on the water Shin and an excellent restaurant recommendation.

Went on the Nature Exploration 1/2 day course with friends - it was the most amazing experience and absolutely would recommend this to others!!
This tour takes you to the backside of Miyajima- it was basically serene empty ocean waters with amazing views and only the occasional Japanese fishermen or family going camping. This is a perfect way to skip the busy tourist areas and explore parts of the island that very few people see. We also got to swim!
Our guides Shin and Mao spoke English with us and gave us great conversation and information about Miyajima! They were so fun to talk to and gave us so many good recommendations for food/other suggestions to visit in the area. They picked us up at Miyajima pier, gave us all the equipment/footwear etc we might need, and drove us to and from the kayaking spot. They also had showers if we needed them at the end of the kayaking and took photos for us the whole time. Amazing service and wonderful staff!
Thank you so much Shin and Mao!! We loved this experience and we loved getting to meet you!!

It was my first time kayaking and it was a lot of fun! ! The stories told by the guide, who grew up locally, were very interesting, and since I was with a child, he searched for sea creatures on the empty beach behind Miyajima, which was a valuable experience. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to use it again. thank you very much!

This was our first overnight trip together as a father and son.
It was a pleasant tour with not a single cloud on the day.
While rowing or ashore, I received many loving explanations of Miyajima, and I fell in love with Miyajima more than ever.
Next time I would like to participate in a longer tour.

During my trip to Hiroshima, I learned that it was possible to canoe through Miyajima's Great Torii Gate, which was a valuable experience.
First, we were given a simple lecture, and after going out to sea, we were able to easily ride.
The instructors were very responsive and I was able to listen to various stories and learn about the history of Hiroshima.
It took about 2 and a half hours, but it was over so quickly that I had so much fun that I wanted to do it again.
I highly recommend it to anyone going to Miyajima! !

Kayaking through the Itsukushima coastline with Shin was the absolute highlight of my Hiroshima trip. He was fantastic, his excellent English made communication a breeze, very knowledgeable and will also take pictures while kayaking. Great guide in every way.
When I was having issues to reach the spot in time Shin was incredibly helpful and even picked us up to ensure we made it on time for our kayak adventure.
The calm waters around Itsukushima are perfect for beginners, so don't hesitate to give it a try! This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Hiroshima Prefecture.
If I come back to Miyajima I'll make sure to drop Shin a message!

If I come back to Miyajima I'll make sure to drop Shin a message!

We recently went on a kayak tour, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The initial instructions were clear and made us feel confident about the adventure ahead. The tour itself was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking scenery.
One of the highlights was paddling through the Torii gates, which was a fantastic and unique experience. The guides were not only skilled at kayaking but also provided interesting insights about the island, the Shrine, the natural surroundings, and the local wildlife.
Overall, it was a superlative experience that I would highly recommend to everyone. If you're looking for an adventure that combines nature, culture, and fun, this kayak tour is an absolute must-do!
Thank you Alex and companion!

What a great experience! We visited Miyajima in mid-August this year and did an evening kayak tour around the eastern side of the island. It was very quiet and peaceful in comparison with the area around the ferry port and gate.
Shin was an excellent host and responded quickly to our (fairly last minute) request to go paddling. He picked us up from the port and dropped us back, providing all the necessary equipment. We kayaked to a small secluded beach that was otherwise inaccessible, where we had a swim, explored the rock formations and looked in the rock pools. We also saw the sun set on the way back.
Highly recommended!

My husband and I went out with Shin yesterday and it was one of the best adventures we've had in Japan! Shin was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to provide us with history and information about the island. He speaks very good English! He also took photos of us while we were out there, and even made us coffee on the beach while we waited for the tide to come in! 🙂 we were the only ones out on the water! Highly recommend!! Thanks Shin!
