There are plenty of brands here, including some luxury ones. The fresh food supermarket is definitely worth checking out.

Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street
The most vibrant street on the island, the "Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street" is lined with stores showcasing Miyajima's specialties. Spanning approximately 350 meters, this arcade street leading up to the grand torii gate of "Itsukushima Shrine" is packed with souvenir shops, stores offering local crafts, and eateries serving Miyajima gourmet delights. With a dense collection of stores offering souvenirs and local foods emblematic of Miyajima, it's recommended to stroll this shopping street first when you visit the island.
Just like the areas around temples in Taiwan are packed with delicious food, the road to the shrine here is no different. Temples and shrines are always great places to experience the local culture.

Shukkeien Garden
Shukkeien Garden was created by Asano Nagaakira, lord of the Hiroshima Domain, as the garden of his villa beginning in 1620 (Genna 6). It was devastated by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Restoration began in 1949 and took approximately 30 years to complete, bringing the garden to its present form.
Shukkeien Garden is like a peaceful oasis hidden in the middle of Hiroshima city. If you're visiting Hiroshima, you definitely have to stop by and enjoy a relaxing half-day here!

Okunoshima (Rabbit Island)
A small island of about 4 km in circumference, designated as Seto Inland Sea National Park. It is also known as the "island wiped off the map" because it was once home to a poison gas factory. Today, the island is home to more than 500-600 rabbits. In recent years, it has become a hot topic on the Internet and social networking sites as "Rabbit Island," attracting many visitors from Japan and abroad.
I've raised rabbits myself, so I was totally charmed by all these cute, fluffy little animals here. Spending the day soaking in the hot springs and watching the rabbits was so relaxing and healing!
