Reviews
The tour operators were welcoming and warm, took us out on a boat to the oyster rafts and told us how they grow, and then took us out to the great torii. When we returned, they helped us get set up for a delicious lunch (not included) of oysters on the dock. Beautiful morning!
Great experience, even though the oyster season is between Nov to May, we still get to see them grow. The farmers are very friendly and patient in explaining the process of growing oysters and about them. The torii gate view is awesome too.
Wonderful short trip out to view the Oysters farm in the middle of the Sea, then back to Oyster restaurant for their variety of Oysters menu. Their grilled Oysters are exceptionally delicious. A must try and to pair with Sake!
Excellent experience using the klook hiroshima pass package, convenient booking and usage process
Very fun! And delicious oysters that we grilled afterwards by the sea!
Such a unique and interesting experience! The boat man was so knowledgeable and helpful! We got to see an oyster farm and got close to the tori gate at Miyajima island for wonderful photos!! Would recommend this to anyone travelling in Hiroshima and Miyajima island!
this was an absolute hidden gem in our trip. for 30 AUD, we essentially had a private tour of the farm. experience was rustic and authentic, our guide and us had to use a google translate a fair bit, but we learnt so much. he took us so close to the tori gate at Miyajima for some of the best views of the the shrine from the water, where you could watch all the tourist scurry around. then we followed it up with so many grilled oysters and beer, it was fantastic, would recommend again and again.
Waited abit to board the small boat . Was showed around the oyster farm and drop us off at miyajima island after the tour .
one of the best experiences we had for this event. even though it is help by Google translate all the way we got a great view of the island and the surrounding
Walk about 10 minutes from JR Miyajimaguchi Station to Shimada Suisan. When you arrive, you need to take the initiative to report to the staff. It is recommended to translate Japanese to communicate with the staff. Note that oyster tasting is not included.
