Itsukushima (厳島) is an island in the western part of the Inland Sea of Japan, located in the northwest of Hiroshima Bay. It is popularly known as Miyajima (宮島), which in Japanese means “Shrine Island”. The island is one of Hayashi Gahō’s Three Views of Japan specified in 1643. Itsukushima is part of the city of Hatsukaichi in Hiroshima Prefecture.
Imagine being on an island, completely surrounded by hundreds of tame deer. They are everywhere! Sitting in garden beds, sleeping in the middle of the roads, splashing around in the water – you can literally cuddle, sit with and interact with these deer without them running away. I don’t really have to say much more because that’s amazing in itself. And if the deer don’t entertain you, then the island’s history, shrines and temples will.
