Miyajima Island


After a small rest in the hotel, Sharon, Paul and I went to Miyajima Island. You catch a train from Hiroshima, then a ferry to the island. The JR rail pass covers both the train and the ferry.

There is a famous shinto shrine on the island, with an even more famous "torii" gate in the ocean just off the island. One of the most photographed places in Japan after Mt Fuji.

You can find more details on the island and the shrine at
