[Japan 🇯🇵] Miyajima Island: Where Deer Roam and Torii Gates Float!

🌟Tips: 🌟 This is family friendly, kid friendly and couple friendly place to visit 🌟 Eat in the island, they serve so many little snacks! 🌟 Can pay extra for a boat ride experience to get through Torii Gate Hey travel enthusiasts! If you're dreaming of a truly iconic Japanese experience, then a trip to Miyajima Island (officially Itsukushima) is an absolute must-add to your itinerary. Just a short ferry ride from Hiroshima, this island feels like stepping into a postcard, especially with its world-famous "floating" torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine. Beyond the breathtaking shrine, Miyajima is a wonderland of natural beauty and charming discoveries. Prepare to be greeted by friendly wild deer that roam freely, adding to the island's unique charm. You can explore serene temples nestled in the hills, hike Mount Misen for panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea, or simply wander through the quaint streets, sampling delicious local treats like maple leaf-shaped momiji manju. The island truly comes alive at high tide when the torii gate appears to float on the water, creating an unforgettable spectacle. It's a place that blends spiritual tranquility with stunning scenery and delightful encounters, making it an absolute highlight of any Japan trip! #miyajimaisland #miyajimaeats #toriigate #shrine #shrinevisit
