Miyajima











Today we took a trip to Miyajima. It was free using the JR rail pass, which also included the short ferry ride. It's about a 45 minute trip from Hiroshima. If you look closely, there is a structure at the top of the mountain. We took a tram most of the way up & then hiked up to the top (well, most of us did). Its 535 meters above sea level, or about 1,500 ft.

There were tame deer all over the place. Supposedly there were monkeys also, but we didn't see any. On the way off the ferry, we saw Ichiro.
