After Hiroshima, we also went to Mijayima, which is an island very close to Hiroshima, which combines temples and nature.
It has the famous torii, which sometimes is in the water…
… and others in the mud.
The island was considered sacred, and normal people couldn’t go to the temple walking, but only on boat. Therefore, they had to go through this gate in the water, so they didn’t step outside the temple.
Apart from that, this island has a very nice mountain with lots of nature that you can either climb, or take a ropeway.
Guess what we chose, in such a hot and warm day…
Now, I can say I have climbed more mountains in Japan than in Spain. ^_^
