Miyajima Tide Times 2025

Time your visit to Miyajima to maximum effect by checking our Miyajima tide timetables for when you can see the great shrine gate at both high and low tide.

Go straight to the Miyajima tide timetables.

Itsukushima Shrine and its giant torii gate at high tide is one of Japan’s most iconic sights. The 0-torii gate looks amazing in its apparent “floating” state, and it’s quite something to walk through the corridors of Itsukushima Shrine with the water lapping up through the floorboards.

At low tide, we love to walk out to the torii. Looking up from below you can truly appreciate its bulk and get a closer look at its design. You can peek under the shrine buildings themselves at low tide, too.

The time between high and low tides varies, but is usually around 6 or 7 hours. If you time your visit right, you may be able to catch both tides with a tour of the rest of Miyajima – visiting Daisho-in Temple, climbing Mt Misen, etc – in between.

The great O-torii shrine gate appears to float when the tide level is over 250cm.
You can walk out to the O-torii shrine gate when the tide level is below 100cm
Tides shown are for Hiroshima Bay so actual conditions at Itsukushima Shrine may be slightly earlier than shown
