Hiroshima Specialty 🤤

#wecreate #japan #hiroshima This is tempura momiji, one of Japan’s unique dish that originated from Hiroshima. Momiji means maple leaf in Japanese. Tempura momiji is a dish where they use homemade cake-like bun filled with different fillings and fry them with tempura batter. It’s very tasty! This shop is located in Miyajima, a 10 minutes ferry ride from Miyajimaguchi station. It takes around 30 mins bus ride from hiroshima station to miyajimaguchi station. There are lots of things to see and lots of food to try on this island~ Please do lah a visit there ~ It is best to visit during Sakura season where you can enjoy the view and food at the same time ~

Birds View of Miyajima Island

When visiting Miyajima Island in Japan, you have the option to climb up to Mt. Misen to see the whole island from its highest point. My favourite part of this journey is the breeze you get when you reach the very top. It was by no means a easy walk as paths aren’t properly crafted. On the way up to the peak you’ll see tons of geographical land formations, small temples and even mini statues that some people dress up! It is absolutely adorable! At the peak of the mountain there is a lookout point where you can enjoy the success of your trek up the mountain. Something cool about being here is that you can see the even smaller island where they grow and harvest oysters. I’ve been told that the way oysters are grown and harvested in Hiroshima is unique as they wait for them to weigh down the wooden planks before harvesting them. Hence ensuring they are fat and juicy for consumption. #wecreate #awesomepic #tripblazers

Miyajima and deers of God

Miyajima is a small island located in Hiroshima Bay, Japan, and is famous for its floating torii gate, one of Japan's most iconic landmarks and third priest place in all of Japan. Visiting Miyajima is easy with a regular 15min ferry. Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 6th century is the main attraction. Its iconic torii gate appears to float on the water during high tide, and is accessible on foot during low tide. There are other landmark attractions but perhaps the second most fascinating thing to see is the wild dear! They are considered a divine animal and roam freely. They purposefully approach visitors in search of food. Be careful though - they will eat everything, including your papers, hair and clothing if you let them! Miyajima is famous for its oysters, which are considered some of the best in Japan. The island has many street vendors selling local specialties such as momiji manju - maple leaf-shaped cakes filled with sweet bean paste, and "deer poop ice cream". I'd recommend spending at least two hours on the island or longer if you'd like to stay for a meal.

A visit To Miyajima Island Hiroshima : On day 2 of my visit to Hiroshima,i took a took a 30 min boat ride from my hotel ( Grand Prince Hotel ) to Miyajima Island.There are deers everywhere and they would come up to you for food so better watch what you hold or else they’ll eat it from you😅.On the island there is a beautiful shrine called the Itsukushima shrine meaning the island of worship and from ancient times the island itself was worshiped as a god. #beaches

On the 2nd day of Hiroshima, you can feel the cruelty of war and enjoy the fusion of man and nature. Hiroshima is Japan's largest city in China, and its international reputation is unquestionable. After all, Hiroshima and Nagasaki of Japan are all The only two cities in the world that have suffered from atomic bombs! Compared to Nagasaki, Hiroshima is more modern and developed, and foreign tourists and even residents are surprisingly large. I have not seen so many foreign tourists even in Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan! I stayed in Hiroshima for four days. In addition to two days of eating, drinking and shopping, I personally feel that you can arrange two days to play Hiroshima! Day 1 Hiroshima City Explosion Memorial Hall - Hiroshima City Day 2 Miyajima Day Tour Memorial Hall is really worth visiting, you can see many of the record photos at the time, feel the nuclear war to humans The disaster and pain brought by many foreigners saw tears in the museum! is another place other than Nara, which is occupied by the deer. If you take a boat from Hiroshima for less than ten minutes, you can consider staying on Miyajima for one night and feel the fusion of people and nature! The famous Sea Bird House has been undergoing a one-year maintenance since mid-June, so the big bird house that is now seen is "packing the legs". It may take a while to wrap the whole body! However, this does not affect the Yancheng Shrine's face value. I personally think that the Yanshima Shrine is one of the best Japanese shrines I have ever seen in Japan, and I don't want to sell tickets to enter! (Japanese shrines need tickets to enter very little) Traffic information: Take JR to Hiroshima City, transfer to the ground train to all the attractions in Hiroshima! Miyajima needs to take JR to Miyajimaguchi and transfer to the ferry! The traffic on Miyajima is basically on foot, and you can also take a rickshaw! ! Travel Tips: There are many hotels on Miyajima. When the weather is good, you can watch the bird's nest sunset in Miyajima! In addition, Hiroshima's central commercial street is really very good to visit, drugstores are super, basically one every five meters, things are particularly complete! Friends who like to buy and buy can shop in Hiroshima!

Itsukushima Shrine's beautiful Big Bird House is known as one of the Three Views of Japan in the island of Yando. It has a famous shrine, which is the most famous landmark in the island. The shrine mainly worships three sea goddesses in the ancient Japanese legend, which was built on the intertidal zone of the Seto Inland Seashore.

Itsukushima Shrine.

Visiting the Itsukushima Shrine on the island of Miyajima in Japan was a magical and enchanting experience. When I arrived on the island, I was amazed by the beauty of the shrine and the charm of its location over the water. The traditional red gate and the beautiful wooden arcade seemed to float on the surface of the water, adding an atmosphere of charm to the place. I began my journey by wandering around the temple, exploring various courtyards, temples, and facilities. Seeing the unique red torii, which is one of the most prominent landmarks of the shrine, especially when it appeared bright in the sunlight, was unforgettable. Afterwards, I enjoyed walking along the streets surrounded by traditional shops and restaurants offering famous Japanese cuisine. She also enjoyed watching the magnificent sunset at the shrine, where the sky reflected in the water surrounding the temple was dyed in beautiful colors. In the end, visiting the Itsukushima Shrine was a unique and distinctive experience, leaving beautiful and wonderful memories in the heart of Miyajima Island.

Gojunoto in Hiroshima, Japan is one of my favorite building to see. This five storeys japanese pagoda has such a beautiful architecture. I can’t stop staring at this building and studying every detail of it. I highly recommend to visit here if you love ancient japanese building. amazing. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

The most convenient way to travel is Hiroshima. It is free to go anywhere. Unexpectedly, the first day of heavy rain, I changed to take the bus, first went to the most winning courtyard to see the five-storied pagoda. The most successful school was built in 1532, started in 1556, and the five-storied tower built in 1667 was 31.2 meters high. It is called the most beautiful five-storied pagoda in the Northeast. There are not many tourists here, it is quiet. A gust of wind blew, the cherry blossom petals fell quietly, it was so beautiful. There is a Yasaka Shrine next to , which can be visited together.

one of the must visit places in Japan - Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on Miyajima Island which is near Hiroshima. It is best known for its big floating torii gate . Miyajima can be reached by ferry from Hiroshima or from Miyajimaguchi- which is faster. after getting off at Miyajima guchi train station, simply walk toward the ferry pier. On the weekend there is often a large crowd so following them would likely lead you to the ferry terminal. There are two ferry companies running ferries between Miyajimaguchi and Miyajima; the JR ferry and the Miyajima Matsudai Kisen. Both have large passenger ferries and costs ¥360 round trip for the 10 minutes ride. there are four ferries per hour between 8-6pm, and less frequent schedules in the early and evening hours. After arriving to the island, turn right and walk for 10-15 minutes to reach the shrine. Weekends are particularly busy with tourists so getting there early would help. There are also many deer roaming around so beware of not feeding them with food- they will follow you! It is best to reserve 4-5 hours to leisurely walk around the Shrine and the island. if you have time , a few more hours would be even better to walk further, and enjoy a lunch or tea , or even grilled oysters! #wecreate #japan #shrine #itsukushima #hiroshima

A Treasure of History and Culture

The Itsukushima Otori Gate is a sight to behold. It’s truly one of the most amazing pieces of history that you’ll ever come across. This gate is HUGE. It is truly massive. And it’s one of those things that you wouldn’t be able to understand until you actually visit it. I really enjoyed just being around it and talking to people about the history and cultural significance of it. This particular gate survived the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. On top of that significant history pointer, this gate is also a key cultural piece that acts as a gate between the human and spirit world. This gate was built along with the shrine near the shore to worship the gods of the sea and storm. It’s truly a sight to behold. #wecreate #awesomepic #tripblazers #culturewalk
