My entire trip to Japan was unforgettable but if I had to remember only one day, it would be that day on the island of Miyajima, next to Hiroshima. The whole area is absolutely gorgeous, with its many temples, the little streets of the village and the stunning view from the top of the mountains. If you’re travelling to Japan, Miyajima should definitely be part of your itinerary!
🇫🇷 Mon voyage au Japon fut extraordinaire de bout en bout, mais si je devais n’en retenir qu’une seule journée, ce serait probablement celle passée sur l’île de Miyajima près d’Hiroshima. C’est un endroit absolument magnifqu, avec ses nombreux temples, les petites rues du village et les points de vue époustouflants du haut des montagnes. Si vous visitez le Japon, faites en sorte de passer par Miyajima !

The are a lot of wild hinds on Miyajima; wild, but not really timid. Be careful if you’re carrying food!
