The Imabari Onmaku Fireworks Festival is renowned for its spectacular fireworks display that illuminates the night sky over the Seto Inland Sea. Highlights include grand, dynamic firework sequences, often synchronized with music, and unique designs.

Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima is famous for its iconic 'floating' torii gate, which appears to float on the water at high tide. Key attractions include the main shrine complex, also built over the water, with its unique architectural style, and the serene beauty of the surrounding natural landscape. The shrine is a designated World Heritage Site.
To witness the iconic 'floating' effect of the torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine, the ideal time to visit is during high tide. The water level rises, surrounding the gate and creating the illusion that it's afloat. It's recommended to check the local tide schedule for Miyajima Island in advance for the perfect timing.
Beyond Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima Island offers a variety of attractions. You can take a ropeway up Mount Misen for panoramic views, visit the peaceful Daisho-in Temple, explore the charming Omotesando shopping street for local souvenirs and delicacies like momiji manju, and observe the wild deer that roam freely on the island.
