Miya-Jima



Second day, second destination: Miya-jima! This island was for a long time considered as a sacred Shintoist place. Nowadays, it welcomes more than 2 millions of tourists per year, who massively come to admires the Itsukushima-Jinja and its Torii built on the shore, and the view that Mt. Missen offers.

~ Seems like birds don't like Buddha ~
