Miyajima aka: 宮島, Itsukushima, 厳島

One of the 3 best views of Japan…and it certainly is when the tide sweeps in and you see the torii look as though it were floating in the water. It’s a beautiful island and not to be missed.

A fantastic place… one of the best places to visit in Japan. I heard you could see deer on the island, and as soon as we walked out of the ferry teminal… there were deer. Sooo… many… deer. And the monkeys on the top of the mountain rocked too. The trip ut to the top of the mountain is worth the climb. We stayed at a ryokan called kinsuikan, which is the best hotel i’ve ever stayed in. The food was awesome, and the people were so sweet and friendly.

MIYAJIMA

A little island with many temples and frienly dear walking around. I can not think of any other place like this.

You don’t need more than a day and a half here, but make sure to take lots of pictures. It’s so beautiful. The deer are kind of aggressive though.

The long hike with the monkeys was worth it, wear comfortable shoes!
