Miyajima Island

Miyajima is an island just a short ferry ride away from Hiroshima.

After a lot of serious subjects, we were ready for a 'lighter day'. So we went to Miyajima, an island known for some famous temples and shrines.

Once we arrived on the island we were first surprised to see a deer walking around, but soon it was clear that these tame animals are walking around all over the town.

We have no clue what this is for, but it looked kind-a nice... Loads of these rolls of 'something' were stacked in the main temple.

Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-style, some kind of a pancake with egg, vegetables, noodles and spices, prepared in front of us. Delicious! Actually the best reason to come to the island...
