Overview
Experience a brief encounter with the 1500-year history of the Nanaura Meguri (Seven Shrines Tour)!
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.
Derived from the legend that the deity of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine circled the island, seeking a place to settle, visitors to Itsukushim-jinja Shrine would traditionally perform the ritual of the Nanaura Meguri by visiting the seven shrines, purifying their mind and body.
Moreover, it is said that even Toyotomi Hideyoshi participated in the tour. Experience it while contemplating the individuals who shaped Japan's history.
