If you would like to get off the cruise ship at Miyajima island and do some sightseeing, you have choice to do so.
As for the return trip, if you are staying at the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima, we would recommend a plan that includes a high-speed boat that takes you back to the hotel.
If you are going to the center of Hiroshima City or heading to another city by JR, you can take a ferry from Miyajima to Miyajima-guchi and transfer to a train.

Dinner Cruise

The dinner cruise starts with a welcome drink as you depart from Hiroshima Port and heads for the coast of Miyajima. Enjoy a meal while listening to live piano, harp, or violin music on the way.

Off the coast of Miyajima, the ship will anchor for about 5 minutes to view the illuminated O-torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine. 
You can step out onto the deck and enjoy the scenery with the fresh sea breeze.
** The O-torii gate is currently covered up by scaffolding for restoration works.

KONISHI KOI FARM

How deeply Hiroshima is related to carp, or koi, can be seen in the name of its professional baseball team, Hiroshima Toyo Carp, the carp castle, the alias of Hiroshima Castle, and the fact that there is a town named Koi (the large residential area in Hiroshima City) .  Hiroshima has long been known as one of the two major Nishikigoi (the carp that have colors and patches and are raised as ornamental fish )- producing areas in Japan. One Koi farmer has a history that dates back even more than a century ago. Konishi Koi Farm is the world’s oldest Nishikigoi breeding farm.  In recent years, its name has been found in a German guidebook "REISE-KNOW-HOW" as well as in JAPAN HOUSE in Sao Paulo, established as a Japanese national project.  Konishi Koi Farm has also donated the Nishikigoi swimming gracefully around in the moats of Hiroshima Castle or in the pond in Shukkeien Garden, a traditional Japanese garden in the city.

A way to enjoy another face of Miyajma; "Nana-ura Meguri", a tour to visit seven shrines along Miyajima by a private yacht

Speaking of Miyajima, most of you would imagine O-torii gate in Itsukushima shrine. It is about only 1 km from Miyajima Port, the entrance of the island, to Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, but the island’s outer circumference is about 30 km. It may be bigger than you can imagine. The town area in Miyajima you see may be full of people. Then, what's in the rest of the area in the island where many tourists don't go? Itsukushima Shrine is a place where God is enshrined. It is said that the god enshrined now searched around the island to find a good place to build a shrine before deciding the location of the current Itsukushima shrine. People gradually started to go around the island and visit the shrines in the seven ura (coves), just as following the action this god took.
