Miyajima

I decided to take it kinda of easy and spend a leisurely day at Miyajima island. It is famous for a huge orange gate that floats in the water. I guess it is normally a tourist nightmare but it was empty and calm while I was there. They have tons of deer that come and hang out with you. They let you pet them and sit right next to them. I watched one eat a guys map. It was hilarious. The island had one of the most impressive Buddhist temples I have been to. There were literally thousands of Buddhas scattered everywhere. Much better than the shrine that island is famous for.
