I thought Kyoto was beautiful, until I went to Hiroshima...

🎏A 2-day trip to Hiroshima can be arranged like this:
Day 1
Cafe - Atomic Bomb Dome - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Shopping in Kamiyacho
Day 2 Hiroshima Castle - Miyajima Island, Itsukushima Shrine ⛩️🌊
-
When you visit Hiroshima, a must-see destination is
📍Miyajima Island
One of Japan's three most scenic views, it's a World Heritage Site.
Miyajima Island itself has a mysterious and unique beauty. 🕊
The Edo-era style is completely preserved.
The ⛩️Itsukushima Shrine, floating on the water, is magnificent!
Behind the shrine is the towering Mount Misen. ⛰️
The island's indigenous inhabitants, 🦌deer!!!, are everywhere.
They are very docile and cute, making it easy to get a photo with them. 📷
(They're gentler than the deer in Nara. 🤭)
At low tide, walk to the bottom of the torii gate for a close-up view and photo opportunity (it's 16 meters tall!).
Embrace the Seto Inland Sea breeze. 🌊
(Check the tide times at the station. 🚉)
-
🦪There are many snacks on the island that you can enjoy as you walk around.
Grilled oysters, oyster curry bread, and fried momiji manjū are all popular snacks.
🍱 Fujitaya
Miyajima's specialty, "Anago" (conger eel)
¥3,000 for a serving of wild eel rice
-
🛳️Transportation: From JR Hiroshima Station to JR Miyajimaguchi Station, walk to the ferry terminal and take the ferry (recommended! The scenery from the boat is beautiful!).
