Our first time seeing a floating temple like this one ! Spent almost the entire day in this area! Fantastic view and wait for the high tide! Even met a lady from Washington! The deers were so cute and they love people! I’m so glad we had visited a spot like this!
This has To be one of our highlights from our 3weeks in Japan. It rained most of the day - which added To the atmosphere!! But then the sun came out!! A great place to be.
Very crowded, but great shrine obviously. There are two ways to get here, we took the 10 minute boat to get to the island, and took the 45 minute ride to the Peace memorial. Note that the boats to the peace memorial are all indoors.
Unbelievably beautiful place. Plan to spend the entire day here. Wonderful shops and a ton of different food. Skip Nara and come here! The deer are way more friendly and less aggressive.
Iconic shrine on the beach on Miyajima island. About 45 mins on the JR train from Hiroshima station. Can use your JR pass on the ferry to the island as well. There is 100 yen tax to pay prior to boarding the ferry. The red Tori gate appears to be floating in the water at high tide. There are free roaming deer in the vicinity. Beautiful scenery. Loads of restaurants, shops and cafes dotted around.
