The best daytrip from Hiroshima

#100waysoftravel

It is highly likely that somewhere on the internet you've seen a pic of the Tori gate in the water and wondered or even wanted to see it in person. Let me tell you that famous floating gate happens to be on the Miyajima island. While mostly famous for the shinto shrine Itsukushima. Miyajima makes for a wonderful day trip from Hiroshima.

I have visited it several times in the past and I continue to as the ferry ride comes complimentary on my transport pass. This famous shrine is a UNESCO heritage and one of the most clicked of places in Japan.

The friendly deer are another fascinating inhabitants of this island. They tend to be subjects of many pictures. Once you have explored the shrine area you may take a cable car up to the peak of Mount Misen for breath-taking ocean views and cheeky monkey encounters.
