Itsukushima in Hiroshima Part 2 - From Hiroshima to Itsukushima-

When traveling to Itsukushima, the most probable way you may take is taking the train from Hiroshima station where the bullet train (Shinkan-sen) stops.

This is the train that you will take if you are taking the JR train.

You'll be taking this train to 'Miyajima-guchi'.

After you get off at Miyajima-guchi, you will walk to  the ferry terminal which is a few minutes walk from the station. (It's easy to know where to go, because most of the people who will get of at Miyajima-guchi will be heading to Itsukushima.)

This is the walkway to the ferry.

Before you get on, don't forget to buy the ticket for the ferry!!
(There's a vending machine for the ticket.)

One thing you can enjoy while you're on the ferry is the oyster beds floating on the ocean.
(There's one oyster bed to the center left of this photo.)

About 10 min after the ride, you'll see the shrine inside the sea.
(Sorry...it's hard to see in the photo but there is a shrine at the center of this photo...)

So, this is how it's like when you reach Itsukushima.

There will be deer walking around freely on the island greeting you!!

Because they're so used to people, they don't run away and just walk around freely.

You can even get close and take pictures with them because they don't run away!!
