Miyajima, Japan

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine.
It's often refered to as "the Torii in the water."



The Torii looks to be floating at high tide,
unfortunately, I only got to visit during low tide.


Miyajima Island is covered in wild deer.


This deer, walked up to me and ripped my map
out of my hands and started to eat it.
These deer are really not afraid of people,
I just sat right down to this one.





People stick coins in the cracks of the Torii to make a wish.
