Miyajimaguchi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miyajimaguchi (宮島口?) is a neighborhood in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was a part of the town of Ōno until 2005 when the town was annexed by the city of Hatsukaichi.
It is located on Route 2 from Osaka to Fukuoka, has a JR train station, Miyajimaguchi Station, and has the terminus of a tram line from Hiroshima.
Upon leaving the train station, it is a short walk under Route 2 (via a pedestrian underpass) to the JR Ferry terminus or to the private ferry terminus which will take you, very inexpensively, across the water to Miyajima (the island), also now a part of Hatsukaichi.
There is an international youth hostel with beautiful tatami-mat rooms just seconds south on Route 2 on the side of the highway nearest the ferry terminus.
