Why eat at the ferry terminal instead of on the island?
Most visitors head straight onto the ferry and look for lunch on Miyajima, where restaurants on Omotesando Shopping Street often have lines at midday, especially on weekends and holidays. Eating at Miyajimaguchi, the mainland side of the ferry, lets you:
- Eat without rushing, then board the next ferry
- Skip the lunch-hour lines on the island
- Stay next to JR Miyajimaguchi Station and Hiroden Miyajimaguchi Station
- Try several Hiroshima specialties in one place
What to order near the ferry
Hiroshima Oyster Ramen
Hiroshima is Japan’s largest oyster-producing region. Plump Hiroshima oysters go into a rich broth, and you can pick the creamy White bowl or the mildly spicy Red bowl (¥1,780 each, tax included, as of October 2026). The dish was certified as a Miyajima local ramen by the Japan Ramen Association in 2025. See the Hiroshima Oyster Ramen Guide for the difference.
Hiroshima Ramen
The local style: a soy sauce and pork bone broth that is rich but not heavy. A good first bowl if you are new to regional ramen (¥1,030). More in the Hiroshima Ramen Guide.
Hiroshima Tsukemen
Cold noodles dipped into a spicy sauce. Refreshing after a hot morning of sightseeing.
Soupless Tantanmen
Hiroshima-style tantan noodles served without soup and mixed with a spicy sauce and Japanese sansho pepper. Choose mild, medium or hot; it comes with a small bowl of rice (¥1,080).
Vegan Miso Ramen
A plant-based miso ramen (¥1,080), so groups with vegans and non-vegans can eat together. See Vegan Ramen Near Miyajima.
Timing tips for ferry travelers
- Before the ferry: eat first, then spend the whole visit sightseeing at Itsukushima Shrine and the floating torii gate.
- After the ferry: stop for a bowl before taking the train or tram back to Hiroshima City.
- Short on time? 20–30 minutes is usually enough for a bowl of ramen.
- Last order is 18:30, so plan a late lunch or early dinner around that.
