A guide to Miyajima Island (actually named Itsukushima) and the city of Hiroshima. We visited Peace Memorial Park, which was a sobering and powerful experience. Miyajima Island might be my favorite place in all of Japan. The roaming deer, the nature, the scenery, the street food – all incredible. And the floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine is amazing. The Miyajima ropeway up Mount Misen leads to some of the most beautiful views you’ll ever see.
