- The surroundings of Miyajima boast a size approaching the top 10 in the Seto Inland Sea, with approximately 30 km and 700 islands. While Miyajima is strongly associated with Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, along its coastline, numerous shrines are scattered, and visiting the shrines in the seven inlets is referred to as the Nanaura Meguri.

- Moreover, it is said that even Toyotomi Hideyoshi participated in the tour. Experience it while contemplating the individuals who shaped Japan's history.
