Private and Custom Tour of Japan | Hiroshima and Miyajima

Aug 05 | Evan | No Comments |

Even with the hot Summer weather in Japan, the private tour of Japan was going great! We were eating too much food but walking almost cancel out all the Japanese food and sweets…. Well, at least walking enough around to make it worth eating all the food! Miyajima, a small island off the coast of Hiroshima, is one of my favorite places in Japan to visit. Miyajima is famous for the (sometimes) floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine and the “wild” deer that roam free on Miyajima.

As you can see from my photo of the torii gate at the top of this post though, even when the tide is out enough to walk up to the torii gate, interesting photos can still be made! Besides Itsukushima Shrine and the deer, there are lot’s of photogenic places around Miyajima that vary with the season. I particuallary like finding scenic spots of the 5 story pagoda as you may have noticed from some of my previous reports of Miyajima photography tours!
