Wandering Fractal

The Torri seen from the mountains. Miyajima is an island in the bay of Hiroshima. It has the famous Torii (sacred gate) in the sea. We spent a night on the island in a traditional house. During the day, there's a lot of tourist, but at night it's a completely different atmosphere. The village is desert of people and only the deer are roaming the streets. So if you want to go there, I would highly recommend to stay a night on the island. One of the many deer living on the island. At low tide, you can walk to the Torii. The sea floor is covered by coins of 1 Yen that people stuck in the cracks of the Torii. Yes, I like moss.

Kinkakuji in Kyoto. Kansai is a region in central Japan with many places to visit. We stayed a few days in Kyoto. It was the capital for a thousand years. It's name, 京都, means literally "Capital City". The current capital Tokyo 東京 means "Eastern Capital". From Kyoto we made day trips to Osaka (2nd largest city) and Nara (capital before moving to Kyoto). Bamboo forest in Kyoto. Deer in front of Todai-ji in Nara. Tenryuji in Kyoto.
