JAPAN: DAY 4

Day 4 - and we continue are travel in Japan! 

Today we experienced one more day in Hiroshima and after having a hotel breakfast we launched to experience new activity. Because of the hot bath we took the day before, we were really relaxed and ready for a new intensive day. Because of the corona virus, unfortunately some places in Hiroshima where we initially were planning to go were closed...And so we went to the Aquarium!

After having visiting the Aquarium, we headed up to enjoy Japanese lunch. The location of the lunch was very peaceful. 

Next we headed to Miyajimacho island, where there are constantly living ~ 1000 people. We took a ferry to get there and the view of inner Sea was magnificent.
Japanese people are never in a hurry, always will give you the way, never rush before you.
Miyajimacho island was full on deer. There are ~ 500 deer living on this island and they are not afraid of people.

The island was spendid. However, we could not enjoy the famous Japanese "red gates", because they were under the reconstruction, we could still feel and experience the spirit in the temples. 

Honestly speaking, I was shocked by japanese temples. Maybe for some reason it is because I haven't seen any other temples besides christian churches, but I was highly impressed. When having some free time on the island, I spend it sitting in one of the japanese temples and enjoying the atmosphere. 

After we headed to the railway station and at 21:30 were already back in Tokyo.

This day was very fertile, thought a little bit intensive. It was also very spiritual as we spent lots of time exploring temples and shinto.
