Miyajima Trip

We decided to take a trip up to Miyajima Island, and do a little sight seeing. Miyajima port is approx. 40 minutes up the coast form Iwakuni. We got to the ferry port, and bought our tickets, and immediately boarded the ferry. The ferry ride takes about 10 minutes, and drops you off in the middle of the town of Miyajima. We walked around the town, hit up the Miyajima Aquarium, and decided to hike to the top of Mt. Misen.

Never fails, whenever we go somewhere, we get stuck at train tracks!
Just outside the main gate of the base!

The deer in Miyajima are very "people friendly"
