Hiroshima
Miyajima
Here is another travel themed tale. This tale is more about the ryokan…the first one we ever stayed at…than the island and its many attractions. A return trip to take in the rest of the island is still high on our To Do list. The island of Miyajima is considered to be one of the three most beautiful places in Japan. (I haven’t been to the other two, but Miyajima easily makes my list of one.) You have likely never heard of Miyajima, but you have probably seen its most famous sight: The floating otorii.
-Hiroshima-
Japan is a beautiful and striking country to live in and travel through. If you are planning a trip to Japan, it is mandatory that you include Hiroshima on your itinerary. Aside from the haunting image of seeing the “A-bomb” Dome, there is the beautiful Peace Park and the Hiroshima Peace Museum which does a marvelous job of laying out the message of peace and horrors of war. Today’s tale is from our visit to Hiroshima in May of 2005.
