Miyajima…..beautiful place….well, that was our very first stop of our humanities trip to japan. Miyajima also known as Shrine Island is celebrated as a sacred island to the Japanese and is also known to be one of the three most scenic views in japan. To get to the beautiful island, we had to take a 10 minute trip down on a ferry ……..and once there all of us were WOWED by the magnificent view and scenery !









This here is the torri gate of the Itsukushima Shrine…The Itsukushima shrine is a Shinto shrine and is also the cause of Miyajima's fame and name. The shrine, which is partially constructed over water and features the famous floating torii gate, was first constructed in the 6th century.












Well ,we took a tour of this scenic island and even took a video ! WELL,JUST WATCH AND ENJOY!





It was a really great trip....all of us had lots of fun (including mr leo).......well besides fun and games , i am sure many of us took something home from this meaningful trip....our friendships and relations with our friends and teachers also deepened! All in all i believe it was money well spent and i trust the rest of us think so too! :{)
