Get to Miyajima
Train/ferry
To reach the ferry port from Hiroshima Station, take the JR Sanyo Line to Miyajimaguchi Station (25 minutes, 420 yen one way, covered by the Japan Rail Pass). Alternatively, you can take tram line number 2 from central Hiroshima bound for Miyajimaguchi. The tram is slower, but costs only 270 yen one way (not covered by the Japan Rail Pass).
From Miyajimaguchi Station, it is a short walk to the ferry pier, from where ferries depart frequently for Miyajima. There are two competing ferry companies operating from this port: JR and Matsudai. Both companies' ferry rides take 10 minutes and both cost 200 yen one way (excluding visitor tax). The Japan Rail Pass is valid on JR ferries.
Boat
Boats connect Miyajima directly with Hiroshima Peace Park (45 minutes, 2200 yen one way, 4000 yen round trip excluding visitor tax, 2 connections/hour) and with Hiroshima Port (30 minutes, 2100 yen one way excluding visitor tax, 1 connection/hour). The Japan Rail Pass is not valid on these boats.
