Top Hiroshima Prefecture Kayaking Tours

This unique sea kayaking tour offers a rare view of the iconic Great Torii of Itsukushima Shrine from the water—an unforgettable perspective shaped by the dramatic rise and fall of the tides. Paddle through calm coastal waters with a small group and an experienced local guide, soaking in the spiritual atmosphere and scenic beauty of Miyajima. Depending on conditions, you may also go ashore to stroll local shopping streets and visit historic temples. (Please note: going ashore is subject to tide and weather conditions.)

The coastal landscapes of Tomonoura are among the most scenic in Japan and provided inspiration for movies like ‘Wolverine’ and Ghibli’s 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea'. On this full-day tour, admire stunning landscapes from the water, paddle past seafront villages, island shrines, and deserted beaches on a kayak, with lunch included.

Immerse yourself in the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli on this small-group kayaking tour in Tomonoura, the inspiration for the town in Studio Ghibli’s anime “Ponyo,” and is also the filming location of the movie “Wolverine.” Paddle your way to will enjoy either the Abuto Kannon temple or Sensuijima Island. Both routes provide spectacular views of the area's natural beauty.
