Local transportations, map, and time-tables This document contains information on local transportations depending on dates and locations between three recommended hotels (Miyajima Morinoyado Inn, Aki grand hotel, and Miyajima Coral hotel) including meeting cite and also provides a convenient map and time-tables. The local transportations between three recommended hotels are rather complicated depending on dates and occasions. To simplify the following explanations, let us first define symbols as indicated in the map in page 2. Please take a look at the symbols so that you are familiar with these symbols. You can check recommended paths in pages 3, 4, and 5 for arrival day Sep 25, Sep 26-29, and departure day Sep 30, respectively. A map inside Miyajima-island (page 6) and time-tables for ferries (page 7) and a public minibus (page 8) are also available. 1
