Miyajima after dark

Hey guys!

What could I do at Miyajima by night?
Thank you!

The shrine and torii are lit up until 11pm. You can see it on strolls along the sea or from sightseeing cruises.

Dining options outside of the hotels are highly limited, especially after 6pm.

I hear most places/restaurants close down by night.

You can also catch whatever tide you didn't see in the afternoon for the Torii (the low or the high)

I love Miyajima in the evening! It is really quite beautiful to walk around the town and Itsukushima Shrine is quite stunning in the evening when it is lit up.

Although I ate dinner in the ryokan I was staying in, there are actually quite a few places open in the evening, mostly bars and cafes.

The main shopping arcade that leads from the ferry drop out point to Itsukushima shrine would be close by sunset. The cable car up and down Misen stops about 7pm. It is mostly just nice strolls or soaking up in an onsen. Basically it becomes like an onsen town at night.
