The climate of Miyajima Island (Japan)
Miyajima Island is famous for the Itsukushima- shrine that can be
found on the island. This gateway to the island stands in the water at
high-tide. Most visitors arrived here via the Japanese Sea. The island
was so sacred that not everyone was allowed to set foot on land here.
Most people had to stay on the wooden quays. Nowadays the shrine is
one of the most famous attractions in Japan and it is a UNESCO world
heritage site.
Miyajima has a warm sea climate. The southern location of the island
is responsible for minimal differences in temperature between the
seasons. Humidity figures are high all year round; rain falls all year
round as well. Temperatures are moderate.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
