Miyajima artisans
Let us introduce you to the craftspeople of Miyajima
InsideJapan can arrange to introduce you to Miyajima's talented locals. Woodcrafts have been practiced on the island for over 150 years - so visit a carpentry workshop for a hands on lesson in carving shakushi rice paddles or warm wooden bowls. We can also arrange collaborative hands-on experiences with island-based potters and the makers of papier-mâché masks, used in Miyajima's festivals.

A quick note about our experiences: Our experiences are designed to be part of a complete, tailor-made travel package and are not available to book individually. This allows us to ensure every detail – from accommodation to transport – is perfectly coordinated for you. If you're interested in one of these experiences, we'd love to help you build a full itinerary around it!
