We arrived late afternoon on a Saturday so the hordes of tourists were heading home for the day which meant we could wander around the main attractions with a few less people around. The other big ticket item to see on Miyajima is the Itsukushima Shrine, which dates back to the 6th century, with the current builidings dating to the 16th century.

Fun Fact: In addition to the temples and shrines Miyajima is also the birthplace of the rice spoon!

The island is also another spot where deer roam freely around, stalking unsuspecting tourists and nibbling on any paper they can find.
