⛩️【Hiroshima・Miyajima】 Enjoy a relaxing time on a mysterious island where gods and nature reside🌿🌊

Known as one of the "Three Views of Japan," Miyajima (Itsukushima) is a small island that floats in the southwest of Hiroshima Prefecture.

The island is filled with a mysterious space where history and nature blend together, including Itsukushima Shrine, which stands as if floating on the sea.

It is an island with a mysterious charm that makes you want to visit again and again when you remember it, as it is filled with so many sights that you can't get enough of it in a day.
