Miyajima

Last month, we took a weekend trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima. Miyajima is an island that is a ferry ride away from Hiroshima. We were blessed with great weather, especially because it was during the time when a huge typhoon had hit Japan.
The scenery once we got off the ferry.
Anago Bento from the famous Anagomeshi Ueno.
Our view while we ate our bento lunch.
Being tourists.
The symbol of Miyajima.
We were able to walk down to get a closer look.
Walked through the Itsukushima Shrine, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also a National Treasure of Japan.

Saru-Mawashi performances.

my okan always says that you should never go to miyajima as a couple because the goddess there gets jealous and will try to break you up! but alas, my parents marriage still withstands, so i digress... miss you! xo
