Itinerary description
|
The ferry trip takes about 40 minutes, half on the river and the other half on the sea.
Already in Miyajima we went to see the Sanctuary and its famous torii in the sea, which is completely exposed when the tide is low and half covered by the sea when the tide is high.
We went at high tide and we couldn't stay until it went down due to schedule issues. Anyway, we took beautiful photos of the torii. At the sanctuary we stood in line and bought the sanctuary's seal book so that they would sign it for us at this and many other sanctuaries that we visit in the future.
In Miyajima, as I mentioned in another route about Hiroshima, there were several restaurant options with gluten-free and/or vegan meals.
We also enjoyed seeing the deer that lived freely on the island and pestered tourists for food. They also sometimes entered stores. They are so used to people that they don't run away from anything or attack anyone. There were many of them and they were very funny and adorable.
Miyajima Island was bigger than I expected. There are people who decide to spend the night and do hiking and other activities. We couldn't and yet we were surprised to see that so many people live there. There is even a school.
On the way back we walked the streets of Hiroshima and went to see some parks. We returned to the hotel when we saw that it was starting to rain, but it gave us time to really enjoy the trip.

It takes about 40 minutes, 20 at a slow pace along the river and 20 quickly through the sea. Miyajima was further away than I thought

Llegada a Miyajima
The port looks like a train station. In fact, many ships were from the famous JR (Japan railways) train company.

Ciervos
The Miyajima deer are loose and do whatever they want. They are very funny. They are used to people so they neither attack nor flee, but they do ask for food. Some even go into stores.

Calle de Miyajima
Miyajima is big and we didn't see it all but we did walk through some of its old-style streets full of shops (the typical "omotesando")

Komainu
The Komainu is the typical Japanese lion-dog that is usually found in sanctuaries. This sanctuary looked different from the usual ones.

Famoso torii
Famous Miyajima torii. At high tide (as in the photo) the sea covers it. At low tide you can go down to the sand and the torii is completely out of the water

Lugar donde comer sin gluten
In Hiroshima and Miyajima we had no problems finding gluten-free places, something very rare since it is not easy even in Tōkyō
