japan day 12... miyajima...

today i took the tram and later the ferry over from hiroshima to miyajima... where the famous itsukushima shrine is... but before getting there to the shrine, you would see a lot of wild deers...

anyway, these deers don't get in the way... they just lay about and graze... whatever they can find...

the shrine is about 20 minutes walk from the ferry terminal... it requires a YEN 300 entrance fee...

i paid at the entrance where it was manned, but at the other end, no one was there... some angmoh gal just walked into that end even though there was signage in english saying that visitors should use the entrance and pay... maybe she paid on exiting the entrance, shown here...

i didn't wait till the tide to recede so that i can go to the gate... but i took a picture anyway...
