sightseeing

There are a number of popular sightseeing spots close to IBUKU,
including two World Heritage Sites.

神の島 宮島

Miyajima, Island of the Gods

As the only shrine in the world constructed above the surface of the sea, Itsukushima Shrine is registered as a World Heritage Site and each year receives large numbers of visitors from around the world. Before crossing over to Miyajima, from the opposite shore enjoy the sight of the Great Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine as it blends seamlessly with the sea and sky, and all of nature. IBUKU is located on the opposite shore from Miyajima, and guests can reach the Miyajimaguchi Ferry Port in around 10 minutes by car.

Kintaikyo Bridge

Kintaikyo Bridge

Kintaikyo Bridge is one of the top wooden bridges of Japan. The structure is composed of five sections (the middle three of which are arches) and is extremely unique in the world and has impressed many experts for the skill of its construction. The scenery changes with the seasons, and in particular many visitors come in the springtime when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
