Visiting Miyajima and curious about what souvenirs you should buy?<\/p>\n

Miyajima is an island in Hiroshima Prefecture that is known for its stunning views, deer, and one of the most famous torii gates in Japan.<\/p>\n

My husband is from Hiroshima, so we visit Miyajima often and can\u2019t help but buy something each time we visit. So, in this article, I thought I would share famous souvenirs that are worth the hype.<\/p>\n

What to Buy From Miyajima<\/h2>\n

Momiji Manju<\/h3>\n

This is undoubtedly the most popular souvenir in Miyajima. Momiji Manju (\u3082\u307f\u3058\u9945\u982d) is a Japanese confectionery that resembles a little cake with a sweet filling inside. Notably, this sweet is shaped like a maple leaf, or momiji<\/em> in Japanese, since Miyajima is especially famed for its beautiful autumn foliage.<\/p>\n

\"Five<\/p>\n

There are several flavors of Momiji Manju. The standard flavor that everyone should try is sweet red paste, which comes in two textures \u2014 smooth (koshian<\/em>, \u3053\u3057\u9921 ) and mashed (tsubuan<\/em>, \u7c92\u9921). If you\u2019ve never had red bean paste before, I recommend trying it smooth.<\/p>\n

Other Momiji Manju flavors include chocolate, matcha, and custard.<\/p>\n

The most famous Momiji Manju company, and arguably the best, is Nishikido (\u306b\u3057\u304d\u5802). I\u2019ve tried Momiji Manju from different companies, but nothing is as good as Nishikido.<\/p>\n

Although you\u2019ll find Momiji Manju by Nishikido for sale throughout Itsukushima\u2019s main shopping street<\/a>, they have a large shop near Miyajima Station<\/a>. I highly recommend visiting this store because they carry some really unique Momiji Manju boxes, such as Pokemon-themed:<\/p>\n

\"Pokemon<\/p>\n

As well as Pikman:<\/p>\n

\"Pikmin<\/p>\n

The boxes contain a variety of Momiji Manju, but the shape is the same as the original, so don\u2019t expect anything too special other than the box itself.<\/p>\n

However, there is a Doraemon Momiji Manju that comes in strawberry flavor. It also has an illustration of Doraemon and Dorami on it.<\/p>\n

\"Doraemon<\/p>\n

You can purchase the Doraemon Momiji Manju individually, too, if you don\u2019t want to commit to a whole box.<\/p>\n

\"Individual<\/p>\n

When buying a box of Momiji Manju, make sure you check the expiry date because they expire rather quickly (in about a week or so).<\/p>\n

Wooden Rice Paddle Chopstick Rests<\/h3>\n

\"Miyajima's<\/p>\n

Miyajima is also famous for rice paddles, so naturally, you\u2019ll find a lot of handcrafted rice paddle-themed souvenirs. One that I find particularly cute and practical is these wooden chopstick rests. These come in various designs such as deer, maple leaves, or Itsukushima Shrine\u2019s famous torii gate.<\/p>\n

Rice Paddle Straps<\/h3>\n

\"Rice<\/p>\n

Another unique souvenir that you\u2019re unlikely to find anywhere else in Japan is these rice paddle straps. As you can see, the calligraphy on them is drawn by hand. You can choose from various designs featuring Itsukushima Shrine or Japanese (Chinese) Zodiacs.<\/p>\n

Rice Paddle Decor<\/h3>\n

\"Rice<\/p>\n

If you want something to hang in your house, consider one of these rice paddles. They have different kanji on them relating to a wish that you would like to be granted. For instance, passing an exam (\u5408\u683c).<\/p>\n

You can also buy a rice paddle that you can actually use, too, but just know that these are not dishwasher safe.<\/p>\n

Miyajima Magnets<\/h3>\n

\"Miyajima<\/p>\n

I know, I know, magnets are so<\/em> touristy. But you know what? I like them, and when I visit a different city in Japan (or a different country), I make sure to buy a few magnets \u2014 one for myself and others for family who can\u2019t travel.<\/p>\n

I think Miyajima\u2019s magnets are beautiful, especially the wooden ones featuring Itsukushima Shrine.<\/p>\n

Sumikko Gurashi Miyajima Goods<\/h3>\n

\"Sumikko<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a store in Miyajima<\/a> that sells Miyajima-themed goods featuring Sumikko Gurashi characters and Rilakkuma. The store itself is unbelievably cute and perfect for photo ops, and the souvenirs are very hard to resist.<\/p>\n

\"Miyajima<\/p>\n

If you know someone who loves these kawaii characters, or you\u2019re a fan yourself, make sure to stop by here. They have so many cute things to choose from that you won\u2019t find anywhere else!<\/p>\n

\"Sumikko<\/p>\n

Itsukushima Shrine Goshuincho<\/h3>\n

\"Miyajima<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in collecting goshuin<\/a> while you\u2019re in Japan, I recommend getting a goshuincho<\/em> book from Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have several goshuincho books, and this one from Itsukushima Shrine is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

Wrap-up: The Best Souvenirs in Miyajima<\/h2>\n

Miyajima has a wealth of unique souvenirs that are absolutely worth taking the time to check out. You\u2019re bound to find something for someone, and don\u2019t forget to get a little something for yourself, too!<\/p>\n

Before you leave, make sure to pick up some famous souvenirs from Hiroshima<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
