23 Feb - Our second last day in Japan. For today, we decided to spend the whole day visiting Miyajima, a small island in Hiroshima Bay, known for its forests and ancient temples. Just offshore, the giant, orange Great Torii Gate is partially submerged at high tide. For the trip to Miyajima, we decided to use the local tram transport to have a view of the countryside. After an hour ride, we finally arrived at the ferry station.
