Itsukushima Shrine is a world heritage site in Hiroshima, Japan.

           I went to Itsukushima Shrine in July.

Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima Shrine (Japanese: 厳島神社
 Itsukushima-jinja) is a Shinto shrine on 
the island of Itsukushima (popularly 
known as Miyajima), best known for its
 "floating" torii gate.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

In the morning, 
I went to Miyashimaguchi station 
by tram from Hiroshima station. 
It took 40 minutes. A journey by
train will only take 20 minutes though.

I took a ferry from Miyashitagochi to Miyajima. 

Before that, I went to a popular 

traditional Japanese styled restaurant,

there is famous for it's Anago-Don.

I ordered a regular sized Anago-Don.

It was 1,738yen.

In the afternoon, 
Let's go to Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima!!
There are two go to Miyashima, 
one is a JR terminal, the other is operated
 by the city. I went to the JR one.

When I arrived at 
Miyajima, there was heavy rain 
and thunder, so I couldn't really enjoy
 my self there.


This is the best known 'tolii' gate.

This is the entrance.

The admission fee was 300 yen.

Open 6:30am - Close 5:00pm.

When I entered the 
shrine, I followed the traditional j
apanese way;
1, Rinsed my hands
2, 'Cleansed' my self with incense smoke
3, Prayed
4, Threw a coin into the donation box for good luck

This is tsukushima Shrine gate. 

This is the no1

This is the no 2

This is the no 3 and no 4 's place.

There is 'tolii' back side. hehe

This is Goju-no-tou (Japanise: 五重塔)

After exploring 
Itsukushima Shrine, 
I ate the famous fried Momiji-manju. 
It was very nice!!

 There is the biggest ‘Shamoji' in the world. 
Shamoji is rice scoop. I don't know, it really used.

We very excited to eat Sashimi, because Hokkaido's sashimi is supposed to be very delisous. we drank a Japanese sake in Hokkaido. The name of the sake that we drank was Namara and I recommended it! It has a dry taste. It was very refreshing.
