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.

Let’s take your own shopping bags with to the store!

Starting from July 1st, 2020, plastic bags has become charged at stores.   Before that, plastic bags were provided for free when you buy things in most of the stores such as convenience stores and drug stores in Japan. This change, which could sound more natural for those living in other countries, may greatly affect the lifestyle of Japanese people. Now, to save the global environment, take your reusable shopping bags with you when you go out for shopping. In Japan, for a long time, a large cloth called “furoshiki” has also been used to carry things. It is very convenient and also substituted for the shopping bags. When not in use, you can fold it like a handkerchief and carry it around; when you use it, you tie its four corners and use it as a bag. How about trying one and taking advantage of old Japanese wisdom?
