We departed Paul & Lynaire's Tokyo apartment at 7 am, on our 850 kilometre journey (south west), by taxi, 2 bullet trains, 1 local train, and 1 ferry to Miyajima Island (much of which is World Heritage-listed), where we arrived at around 1 pm.
Our 6 hour visit began and finished at the O-torii Gate.
We then caught a bus, 2 ropeways and completed a medium-level 30 minute hike up to Mt.Misen (535 metres above sea level), where there are spectacular 360 degree views of the Seto Inland Sea, and Hiroshima, as well as several temples and halls, including Kiezu-no-hi (the eternal flame).
We then descended by a difficult 3 kilometre hike, via the Daishon Temple, Itsukushima Shrine, 5 storied Pagoda, and the local deer.
We left the island by ferry, then caught a local train to Hiroshima, where we stayed the night.

When you have a 23kg luggage limit for a 4+ month trip, you are limited on your wardrobe options
