First photo↑; I took this one from parking area of hightway.
We can look the panorama of Miyajima from here
Miyajima is in Seto Inland sea(Setonaikai)
and the beautiful scenery is made by other big and small islands.

and parked it at the parking spot. There is many parking lots but most tourists get here by tour bus or train.The ferry to going to Miyajima is 340 yen(US$4 about) Its cheap!!
Miyajima is enough atmosphere of sightseeing but general person lives in here too so many people who live there, use this terminal to go to school
and work
.
and work.some of my friends live in Miyajima and they work at Hiroshima city. It is not unusual for them because of the city is not too far from Miyajima.
.
The ferry comes the pier at intervals of ten minutes.many tourists are waiting the ferry but I have never in crowded in here.

It is about 20 minutes to get the island.
.Miyajima approaches to us
.
.crossing the sea to go to Miyajima by ferry is so nice
!! If we go to there by land, we would not moving so much. I think.
!! If we go to there by land, we would not moving so much. I think.My kids are looking forward to taking the ferry when knew going to Miyajima. when I was kid, like them
Still same feeling, I'm really excited while we are crossing the sea to get farther shore
now, we can see a big Torii gate you think, it looks not big but this is really big when you going to to be near
you think, it looks not big but this is really big when you going to to be nearwell, It's starting sightseeing from the pier on the Miyajima side when you arrive
There is two ways to go for the Itsukushima shrine!! Yes,It's a UNESCO World Heritage
One of ways, walk along the sea with nice view and quiet, the other way is shops for souvenir and restaurants line the street
Of course I choose the quiet way.because I'm not interested in souvenir
but bustling street where is shops and restaurants are popular way for tourists
but bustling street where is shops and restaurants are popular way for tourists(I will introduce you later)
)
YES, this is the most famous Miyajima's big Torii gate
I have seen it many many times but I feel this is wow every time
The vermilion of the Shinto shrine in Miyajima that shines in the color of the sea is more beautiful though the temple in Kyoto and Nara is also beautiful
the Torii gate is about 16 meters high. the two main pillars of Torii are made of camphor tree which are measure about 10 meters around.
The tide is high and low in this shoal,so it is also attractive to see that the scenery of the Torii gate is different
people can walk to under the Torii gate when the tide is low
By the way, this Torii doesn't bury under the ground also not cover with concrete. It only puts on sands
This torii has never fallen due to the typhoon
and the earthquake etc
and the earthquake etcIt is supported naturally by its own weight not being embedded in the sea floor. do you know how does it possible?? the weight is put in the part of roof and the foot that arrives at ground is adjusted to six. Its splendid structural beauty artfully combining Japanese skills
you pass by the Ootorii, you can reach to the Itsukushima shrine
The primary Itsukushima Shrine was constructed in 593 AD, and enlarged in 1168.
It seems floating in the sea during high tide Its sooo beautiful
Here is a Shinto shrine, so people can held wedding
It is one dream that held the wedding at there for people from Hiroshima. If you want to, you should take a reservation before one year or more
you can meet a happy couple who has just married at there with Japanese style when you come on weekend
Cherry blossoms began to bloom on this day.
The time when a plant should bloom slightly shifts to the cherry blossoms tree by the kind.
The shade of this cherry blossoms with Five-Storied Pagoda just seen behind full-bloomed was very beautiful.
In the spring,cherry blossoms are beautiful and tinted autumn leaves are also beautiful
in Miyajima.
and tinted autumn leaves are also beautiful in Miyajima.There are various showplaces every season,so you will enjoyable anytime with picturesque scene
well, there is lot of famous places in Miyajima, you can get these informations from guide books,so this time,I introduce you my favorite places
this is Miyajima fire station ↓↓↓
so as not to destroy the scenery as a sightseeing spot, is made it to externals Japanese style
There are lot of wooden houses in Miyajima, so the firemen are protecting a valuable cultural asset and the national treasure from a fire.
Here is many Japanese style hotels(Ryokan) in Miyajima.
This is a long-established Ryokan which is located at Momijidani.↓↓↓
It is a place that flows just beside the brook and is very beautiful
The fresh green or the foliage season shall would be nice to be here
You can see many rice scoops(Shamoji) at the every shops.
Why Shamoji?? I don't know why
anyway, the wooden rice scoops sell for actually use it and as a decoration that writes the character like this.
I don't think that many Japanese people buy them. I guess, these are mostly for foreigners.
I found them ↓↓↓↓ these are nice!! I want this one
↓↓↓↓ these are nice!! I want this oneThese are made of real woods and it is possible to send it by mail with stamp
