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 city and the stunning view from the top of the mountains. If you’re travelling to Japan, Miyajima should definitely be part of your itinerary!

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