Mmmm… Yum
Personalised chopsticks and an amulet for safe travels
At the temple where the Eternal Flame has been burning for 1200 years
Surprises around every corner! These statues have caps knitted by someone who has lost a dear one
Monks going about their early morning rituals before the day’s work starts
The shrine dates from mid-16th century
Entrance to the Itsukushima Shrine
Breakfast… not that different from dinner!
Check us out in our lounge-around kimonos
Standard little (delish) Japanese dinner
Our ryokan complete with kimonos
