From our hotel in Hiroshima, we hopped on the trolley and headed to the ferry... a 10 minute ride across to the island.
beautiful....
The vermilion gate rising out of the sea is considered to be one of Japan's most beautiful sites.
the island is known for 'wild' deer and monkeys. Although not really wild, one deer did take a few bites out of my guide book!
This was a real miniature Japanese maple tree!
the first shrine to Hello Kitty that we have seen!
We took the ropeway up to the top of Mt. Misen,
Miya-jima's sacred mountain. we wanted to see what the "least" see!
It was a bit tight....
but worth it- the view was breathtaking!
5 story pagoda
Itsuku-shima Shrine
Senjookaku- "hall of a thousand tatami"- it's huge!
