Miyajima

Miyajima is a small island about half an hour west of Hiroshima. It is famous because the view of the tori (top picture) is considered to be one of the three most beautiful views in all of Japan, the other two being the sandbar at Amanohashidate in Kyoto prefecture, and the islands of Matshushima in northern Honshu.
I took the Fudges here for our first day of travel, and after seeing the tori, we decided to climb Mt. Misen, the highest mountain on the island. It's not that high, but because of the humidity, it was a good, sweaty workout. There's a shrine on top of the mountain, and there are excellent views from the peak of the Inland Sea. It was also excellent practice for our trip up Fuji.
