Ieshima

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Ieshima is an island in the Seto Inland Sea located a 30-minute boat ride from Himeji Port. This tranquil island offers an authentic glimpse into rural Japan and is largely untouched by tourists. Its name literally means "House Island" and its motto is "An island where you want to go back to". It's the perfect escape for those seeking a serene seaside experience and fresh, local flavours.

Ieshima Shrine (Pass by)

Ieshima Shrine is a small but meaningful Shinto shrine on Ieshima Island, part of the Ieshima archipelago off the coast of Himeji, Hyogo. Deeply connected to the island’s fishing community, it’s a peaceful place where locals come to pray for safe voyages, good catches, and family well-being. A short stop here is perfect for travellers who want to experience Ieshima’s everyday atmosphere—quiet streets, sea breezes, and a glimpse of authentic island life away from the crowds.

HIMEJI STATION

  • 15m
After visiting Ieshima island we will accompany you by bus to Himeji JR Station and our attendant will purchase and give you the shinkansen (bullet train) ticket to your preferred end point.
