Miyajima... The Shrine Island

This island was located an hour away from Hiroshima. It has a famous torri gate that appears to float on water.
It also has the Itsukushima Shrine.
 
Low tide

We took hike than a ski-lift to the top of Mount Misen.
 
From the ski-lift

Here are some of the sights we saw along the way.
 

 
Waterfall
 
Needless to say, it took me 8 minutes.
 
No Parking?!?
As we got closer to the top, the view was breathtaking.
 
On top of the world

In distance is the Inland Sea of Japan.

We also had some great food. Starting with fish cakes formed into a maple left shape.
 
Fried Fish Cakes

Fish cake plus eel.
Then we had the Japanese version of a funnel cake. Batter with custard inside deep fried on a stick. Also in the shape of a maple left. Haha.

Deep fried sweets, just like at the county fair.
