In the centre of Miyajima Island's only town, stroll along the 350-metre-long Omotesando Street, full of shops, restaurants, cafes and street food eateries.

The partially covered street is very busy and very touristy, but extremely popular for its many local souvenir shops, where you can easily spend over an hour shopping.

Omotesando Street is also where you'll find most of the restaurants with the local specialty of grilled oysters. We describe more about eating out in Miyajima in the Activities chapter.
