MIYAJIMA -
this small island is one of 3 famous sight,
one of world heritage.

when it comes a new year,
many people go there for new year prayer,

when it comes a spring,
people visit and see nice cherry blossoms,

when it comes a mid summer,
people enjoy beautiful underwater fireworks,

when it comes a autumn,
people visit and see burning red maple trees.

there will be a many traditional ceremonies year round,
those continues more than 1,000 years.
of course, ceremonies according to lunar calender.


standing in the sea, u can walk under the gate when it low tie

went there with friends,
this time round, we took cable car to mt.misen.
miyajima's very mysterious mountain.
many monks or priests had tough training to enhance their power.
many people hike to summit to celebrate first sun rise of the year.
