Experience through the traditional industry in Miyajima!

As you know that there are traditional industries all over Japan, Miyajima also has its own traditional industry.

Wouldn't you also like to experience by yourself more than just see the products of traditional industries?
Please come visit "Miyajima Traditional Crafts Center"!


Miyajima Carving Experience

This is an experience that you can carve the drawing that represents Miyajima on the wooden obon -tray-.
Traditional craftsman who has been making prestigious souvenirs will teach you friendly.
You can also see his work at "Miyajimarine" (Miyajima public Aquarium).


Maple Buns Making Experience

Maple bun, which we call Momiji manju, has actually been made since 1906 and is very popular sweets. 
It is maple shaped and contains sweet red bean paste inside the cake bun.
When you walk around the town of Miyajima, you can see the maple buns being made by automatic mold machines here and there.
But here, you experience baking maple buns by rotating the mold machine one by one.
Bake your own maple buns while feeling the weight of the mold machine and the nice smell of baking.
Freshly baked maple buns are exceptionally delicious!

Rice Scoop Making Experience

Speaking of Rice Scoop, why do you think you see Rice Scoop all over Miyajima?

In Miyajima, where the island itself is the sacred object of worship, it was impossible to farm.
About 200 years ago, one of monks in Miyajima wondered if there were any industry possible there; one day, Benzaiten, one of the Japanese goddesses, appeared in a dream, and the monk noticed her holding a musical instrument called Biwa. (Biwa is an instrument that looks like a Mandolin.)

When he made a Rice Scoop that resembled the shape of a biwa from Miyajima wood, it became popular as a lucky charm, and making the Rice Scoop became a major industry in Miyajima.

In this experience, the wooden Rice Scoop itself is already shaped, so after polishing it, you will use various shaped branding irons and add original patterns it.
Why don't you make your original lucky charm for your trip memory?

Break down stereotypes! This is the TRANSPARENT INCINERATION PLANT.

Who can believe that this building is an incineration plant? But it really is. This modern architecture is actually an incineration plant of Hiroshima city, designed by Architect Yoshio Taniguchi who also designed MoMA’s new building. In the center of this building is there a tunnel-shaped transparent passage called "Ecolium"; in other words, you can stand in the middle of this factory and look out over the factory. Please make a challenge how “Instagramable” picture you can take. Ecolium is open from 9:00AM through 4:30PM every day! At the end, you will see the wide view of calm Seto Inland Sea, with this huge and modern architecture on your behind! Take steps down to the ground outside and see the sea and park with greenery and take a walk around. During weekdays, from Monday through Friday, you can also go up to the 6th floor (the entrance is on the 1st floor of the building), a really nice viewing gallery must be seen. Of course, this is all free of charge...

Your hotel like a home from home in Miyajima

This is one of the few Western-style hotels in Miyajima Island with Japanese touches. While the rooms have the classic bed style, you can take off your shoes in the style of a Japanese house and relax on the wooden floor. When you arrive at Miyajima and walk out of the ferry terminal, the brown building you see on your left is the Miyajima Villa. It welcomes guests at the entrance to Miyajima. Leave your heavy luggage behind at the hotel as soon as you arrive at the island, and head out for sightseeing lightly. Needless to say, Miyajima is a tourist destination registered as a World Heritage Site, and there is not enough time to enjoy all of the historical buildings, nature, shopping, and gourmet food, but there is also plenty of hospitality for guests to have a special time at this Miyajima villa. Feature 1: Bath with tatami mats Feature 2: Restaurants with locally produced and consumed food Feature 3: A special venue for guests Feature 4: Stay i...
