Miyajima

Today (the 17th; posting this the day after), we went to Miyajima. It is an island just off of Hiroshima with a temple, known for its unique Torii gate.


The whole temple is built with the tide in mind. It is all elevated. There is a path to the Torii gate that you can only access at low tide.

It also features some very relaxed deer; they did not offer deer crackers here, so they were a lot more laid back and did not harass people for food.
Here is one eating a pamphlet. For some reason, my images are not rotating properly.

We also got some okonomiyaki. Here is it being cooked.

And here they are at our table. The hot plate is mostly just to keep them warm, as they are already cooked at this point.

And we went to grab a few quick shots of the Atomic Bomb Dome. I really liked the reflection on the water from this angle.
