At the top of Mt. Misen, Miyajima.

The group "climbed" Mt. Misen by cable cars and enjoyed an expansive view of the Setonakai (Inland Sea) and Hiroshima City. It was fairly cold at the summit today as the sun we had during the morning disappeared just at the beginning of the ascent.

Tram, train and  ferry to the island.

Hungry deer

The deer on Miyajima are very friendly if you have food. If not, paper will do.
