We took the old Hiroshima street car to catch the ferry to Miyajama, a beautiful island off the coast.
Look at the hordes of Japanese students leaving the boat. Everywhere we went was bombarded by school groups.

gorgeous colors together
The famous floating Torii considered one of Japan's top 3 views. James says my hair is the perfect length for a Darth Vader helmet.
To enter a temple correctly, you are always supposed to go through the torii. These tourists paid to go through it the right way. When this temple was built it was only for a royalty, so by building the torii in the water they thought they could keep the commoners out.
The floating temple bogged down by tourists. A Japanese version of Venice?
