Hososhima Ko
Hososhima Ko offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical
intrigue. This port is a gateway to the sacred island of Miyajima, accessible
by ferry. Explore the Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its
iconic "floating gate." Hike the scenic trails of Mount Misen, enjoying
breathtaking views of the surrounding islands. Shopping options near the port
might be limited, but Miyajima offers a variety of shops selling traditional Japanese
crafts and souvenirs. Savor fresh seafood dishes at harborside restaurants or
indulge in okonomiyaki (savory pancakes) – a local favorite.
Nightlife is low-key, but you can relax at a traditional teahouse,
sipping matcha and enjoying the tranquility of the island.
