Day 7: Part 1. Miyajima
Posted by: rennoblliw on: June 17, 2009
Alright, day 7 is too intense for one post. In fact just the photos are too much for one post. So I will have a short synopsis of the two halves of the day and include pictures of the madness.
Our first stop of the day was Miyajima island. For those unfamiliar with the geography of Japan, it’s a little island to the south and west of Osaka. It also happens to be contention for the most beautiful place I have ever been.
A bullet train ride to a 15 minute ferry trip and we were on the island and we were quickly greeted by the islands… inhabitants. I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
P.S I hope you all understand why all of this has been taking so long after you view this gallery. This has been massively trimmed down and it still has almost 200 pictures in it alone.

Loved the deer and their sheer indifference towards the constant trickle of tourists. Did not love having to stop every ten feet for a group shot 
. I do know that in retrospect it will be nice to have all those shots on that island, because it really was beautiful.
The hundreds of stairs really made me work for that awesome view up at the top. It was worth every step.

I still need to buy me one of those giant wooden spoons. I also liked how we all sort of just watched that deer eat that map. I think if anyone really wanted to we could have stopped it but we just let it continue munching away. I think the best part of that island was climbing up that side of the hill with all of the shrines on it. That was really a lot of fun.
