I finally got to visit Miyajima, a place I've always wanted to see at least once in my life. The great torii gate floating on the sea, and seeing it up close when the tide was out, were both beautiful.
If you're staying on the island without meals included, be aware that shops close early.
You absolutely have to see this unique torii gate.
The deer on the island are super gentle and cute. There are lots of visitors both day and night.
The whole shrine is built over the sea. When the tide is low, you can walk right up to the torii gate for photos. I saw lots of lucky coins stuffed at the base of the gate.
The grilled oysters smelled amazing! They were huge and super plump. I ended up ordering several to eat.
No matter if it's day or night, this place attracts tons of visitors. Most people come just to see the torii gate in the sea.
It's rare to see a torii gate standing in the water like this.
Plus, it's one of Japan's three scenic views and a World Heritage site.
You really have to visit at least once.
High tide and low tide each offer a different experience. There are also cute deer and lots of shops nearby. This is a must-visit sightseeing spot.
Each season brings a different charm here. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
Miyajima is super lively and packed with people everywhere. If you're in Hiroshima, you definitely have to check it out.
