JR Miyajima Ferry (JR宮島フェリー Jeiāru Miyajima Ferī?) is the ferry route between Miyajimaguchi, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima and Miyajima (Itsukushima).
JR Miyajima Ferries are operated by JR West Miyajima Ferry Co., Ltd. (JR西日本宮島フェリー株式会社 Jeiāru Nishinihon Miyajima Ferī Kabushiki Kaisha?), a wholly owned subsidiary of West Japan Railway Company (JR West).
There are three ferries called Miyajima-maru, Nanaura-maru and Misen-maru.
Between Miyajima-guchi and Miyajima, it takes ten minutes.
The route, commonly called Miyajima Renrakusen (宮島連絡船), was one of those classified as tetsudō renrakusen (鉄道連絡船), ferry routes as a part of railway network. All other JR renrakusen routes were closed by 1990 and the JR Miyajima Ferry was the last one of that kind until its separation in 2009.
