    Day 20 of my first Japan trip in 2006 was a very rainy one. I took the ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima where I saw Itsukushima Shrine with its famous "floating" torii gate. I felt sad about having to leave soon.

  2. La Isla de #Miyajima, con su famosa puerta / #tori en el agua, pero en esta época la marea está alta a horas no compatibles.. y lluvia todo el día, pero así es viajar. Aún así valió la pena el viaje para la experiencia de un pequeño poblado, distinto a la experiencia urbana. 2/3

  3. Having walked across Japan, in 1643 scholar Hayashi Gahō (林鵞峰 1618-88) wrote a book "Observations About the Remains of Japan's Civil Affairs" (日本国事跡考), naming Miyajima's Itsukushima-jinja (厳島神社), Amanohashidate and Matsushima (松島) the three most beautiful views in Japan (日本三景).

  5. One of my (many) interests are traditional japanese kitsune mask. I'm aiming to collect them all, because there are many different mask design around japan. One of the least known is the Miyajima one, and I just saw someone on ebay selling it in red and blue but with the transport fee it's like 150€ for one mask :artsweats: But at the same time it's the first time in year I saw it on ebay...The struggle is real... #KitsuneMask #Miyajima #MiyajimaKitsuneMask
