Very similar to a typical district in Tokyo. This is in Hiroshima
The kids loved seeing this at the Marine Corp base

Our first day in Iwakuni we decided to take the short ferry ride over to Miyajima a very famous island here known for its oysters and floating torii gate.
On our way
One of the most startling things upon disembarking the ferry was the deer that were completely tame and wandering free, lounging about wherever. Stanley and Audrey, my two animal enthusiasts especially loved this.
Kristi, this would have been the spot to wear the shirts from Nova Scotia!
lunch options
But I opted for oysters and made quick work of them. They were AMAZING!
The beauty of this island could not be captured adequately. The buildings, shrines, veiws.....
shrine porch
cherry blossoms were past their peak, but many places had much to admire
a friendly deer interrupting a hanami or picnic
There was a wedding taking place in the floating shrine
After the ceremony
Beautiful pagoda
If for nothing else I would love to go back for the oysters...
