Hello
I will be in Hiroshima on 24 October and I am interested in coming to the Miyajima traditional craft centre. How do I get there from Hotel Sunroute 3-3-1 Ote-machi, Naka-ku, and how long would it take?
Thank you

Its actually quite easy. You just need to walk 500m from your hotel to the ferry which takes you from Hiroshima to Itsukushima (Miyajima) Island. I'm sure your hotel staff will be able to direct you there.
If you have a JR pass or a Juhachi kippu you can ride the ferry with that. If not, you need to buy a ticket in the booth nearby, which is also quite easy to find once you are there.
FInally, you wait for the ferry and once you arrive at the island, its super easy to find the craft center. Just leave the docks, follow the main route into the island and you will see the craft center on your left.
