The Torii Gate to Miyajima - Miyajima
The Torii Gate to Miyajima
One of the Three Most Beautiful Places in Japan

I found this place quite by accident while doing research for my trip to Japan with FMF. I was so glad I did and that I was able to visit Miyajima Island while in Japan. The entire island is a national park called "Momiji" which means "maple" in Japanese. The trees were in their full autumn splendor much to my delight. It was a beautiful place to see!

Pros and Cons
