Senraneshima Island, which can be reached by boat from Tomonoura Port in about five minutes, is also known as one of the best power spots in Hiroshima.

Itsukushima Shrine is a power spot known for its shrine built by Taira no Kiyomori, a leading warrior of the Heian period (794-1185), and is believed to be a place of blessings for marriage, matchmaking, beauty, and protection from bad luck. Itsukushima Shrine's Tenjinsha Shrine also enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the famous god of learning, and is a good place to pray for success in entrance examinations. Incidentally, the torii gate standing on the sea seen from the main shrine of Itsukushima Shrine is a spectacular sight, so be sure to take note of it when you visit Itsukushima Shrine.
Mt Yayasan
Yayama is a 535ⅿ-high mountain located on Miyajima Island, and can be climbed from the back side of Itsukushima Shrine. The summit can be reached while admiring the natural beauty and ruins along the mountain path. The view from the top of Mt. Yayasan is spectacular, and is truly one of the three most scenic spots in Japan.
A little off the summit, there is also a power spot called the Shrine in the Sky, which you should visit if you can. For those who have difficulty climbing the mountain, you can also take the ropeway to the summit. Another attraction of Miyajima is that you can also enjoy viewing the autumn leaves in the fall.
Daisho-in Temple
About a 20-minute walk from Itsukushima Shrine is Daisho-in Temple, the main temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism, and is said to be the oldest temple on Miyajima, founded by Kukai (Kobo Daishi). There are a number of places where you can receive a lot of benefits and power, such as Gandaiji-sama, Henshokudo Cave, and Five Hundred Arhat Statues, so this is definitely a place you should keep in mind when you aim to visit power spots.
In particular, the Henshogu, located in the cave of the Daishido, is a spectacular sight and is said to be as beneficial as a pilgrimage to any of the 88 temples on Shikoku.
