Day 4: Miyajima Temple Visit, Part 2, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

I had to stop and get as close to the o-Torii Shrine as possible.

Panoramic view, 180 degrees

Our visit continues with a short hike up a residential street. It's been drizzling since we arrived but now it's starting to rain harder.

Buddhist Temple Entrance, it was protected and saved from destruction during a time when it was common to.

As you walk up the stairs you should roll the charms representing touching the 8 sutras.

Bimzurusonzya, touch this "diety" where you need healing then touch yourself in that same spot. People have left their buddhist prayer beads on his hands, and baby bibs around his neck.

I purchased Buddhist prayer beads in the temple and I knelt and asked the Buddha to give us safe passage and a long and healthy life for our family.

Underground completely blacked our meditation tunnel under the temple. Due to the darkness, these images seem to fly out at you. There were 3 sections, with  8-12 images in each.
