Japan Miyajima Travel Guide

Miyajima, Japan, you may not be familiar with it, but it is still worth visiting. There are not only lovely deer like Nara, but also unique shrine buildings and torii. So how to travel specifically? Let's have a look!

This place is famous because it was built as a sacred place on the sea. When the water level drops, we can walk to torii and enjoy this famous building. When the water rises, everyone can also come here by boat to enjoy the building!

Here, there are many deer around, which are very cute and can be seen everywhere. In addition, there are some shops on both sides of the road to Miyajima, where you can buy some special foods and eat them while shopping!

But it's strange here that couples seldom come. The specific reason is that couples who come here will break up, mainly from a legend!

Yandao Shrine only worships goddesses, not male gods, so the kindness and love of lovers here will cause the jealousy of goddesses and make them break up. There are three great gods enshrined in Iwashima Shrine, namely Ji Ming in Shibuya, Ji Ming in Tian Xin and Ji Ming in Tuanjin. Because these gods are the gods of the sea or navigation, torii and temples are built in the sea.

In the edo period, there were flower streets and alleys in Chengxia Town, Hiroshima City. The edo shogunate ordered the demolition of these flower streets and alleys, so they moved to Miyajima.

At that time, those married men lied to their wives in order to have fun in Miyajima, saying that "the Iwashima shrine in Miyajima is dedicated to the goddess. If the couple go together, they will be jealous by the goddess and their fate will be broken, so you'd better not come with them. "

In this way, these men have wronged the three goddesses of Yandao Shrine for so many years in order to raise their wives. There is also a legend that couples break up when they come!

There is also an annual underwater fireworks exhibition, which is very grand. There are about 200 fireworks in the water and 5000 ordinary round fireworks.
